Learn Hardcore Spanish (Latin America): Mi tutora corrige mis errores cada día.

tutora is the feminine form of “tutor.” A tutor usually gives extra lessons or individual guidance, whereas a profesora generally teaches whole classes in a school or university. They overlap but are not identical roles.

Why is there no subject pronoun like ella before corrige?

Spanish verbs carry information about the subject in their endings. corrige ends in -e, signaling third-person singular (he/she/it). Since the ending tells you who’s doing the action, the pronoun ella is usually dropped.

What person and tense is corrige?

corrige is the present indicative, third-person singular form of corregir. It translates as (she) corrects or (he) corrects.

Why do we say mis errores instead of los errores?

mis is the possessive adjective “my,” indicating ownership of the errors. los errores just means “the errors” with no implied owner. You could say los errores if you’re not focusing on whose errors they are.

Does día need an accent on the í?

Yes. día has the accent because it’s a two-syllable word stressed on the first syllable (a word ending in a vowel, -n or -s must show a stress on any syllable but the last with a written accent).

Can I say todos los días instead of cada día?

Absolutely. todos los días (“every day”) and cada día (“each day”) are interchangeable in most contexts.

Why isn’t there an a before mis errores as the direct object?

Spanish uses the personal a only before direct objects that are specific people (or personified animals). Since errores are inanimate, no a is required.

Could I use an object pronoun and say me corrige instead?

Yes. Mi tutora me corrige cada día is very natural. Here me functions as an indirect object pronoun indicating to whom the correction happens.

Why is mi placed before tutora, not after?

Possessive adjectives like mi almost always come before the noun in Spanish. You could say tutora mía for emphasis or poetic effect, but it’s less common in everyday speech.

Why do we use mi tutora (singular) but mis errores (plural)?

Possessive adjectives agree in number with the noun they modify. mi stays singular with tutora, and changes to mis to match the plural errores.
