Key learning points

  1. Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun) is an ancient festival celebrating the winter solstice and Inti, the Sun God.
  2. 'Todo' means everything, all (of). When 'todo' is used before a noun, the spelling changes to match gender and number.
  3. 'Todo el mundo' means 'everyone'.
  4. 'Mucho' means 'many', 'lots of'. When 'mucho' is used before a noun, the spelling changes to match gender and number.
  5. 'Arriba' means 'above', 'abajo' is 'below', 'a la izquierda' means 'on the left', 'a la derecha' is 'on the right'.

Keywords

  • Todo el mundo - a phrase meaning 'everyone', which uses the 3rd person singular form of the verb

  • Todo - a word meaning 'everything', 'all (of)'. When used before a noun, the spelling changes to match number and gender

  • Mucho - a word meaning 'much', 'a lot of'. When used before a noun the spelling changes to match number and gender

Common misconception

You need to use the plural form of 'todo' or 'mucho' with 'gente'.

'Gente' is a singular noun, so you use the 3rd person singular form of 'todo' and 'mucho' with 'gente'. Remember, these words also agree with the gender of the noun: 'toda', 'mucha'.
