Questions & Answers about Tu amiga siempre da buen consejo en la escuela.
Why is tu (as in tu amiga) spelled without an accent?
In Spanish, tú (with an accent) means “you,” while tu (without an accent) is the possessive adjective that means “your.” In our sentence, it’s the possessive: tu amiga = “your friend.”
Why is buen used instead of bueno before consejo?
In Spanish, the adjective bueno changes form to buen before a masculine singular noun (like consejo). This is a common rule in Spanish: bueno → buen when it comes directly before a masculine singular noun.
Why do we say buen consejo in singular, rather than buenos consejos?
In Spanish, the word consejo often works as a collective or uncountable noun when referring to “advice” in general. Many speakers would say buen consejo to mean “good advice” in a broad, uncountable sense. Using buenos consejos is also correct if you’re talking about multiple distinct pieces of advice.
What is the function of siempre in the sentence?
Siempre means “always,” which emphasizes the habitual nature of the action. In this sentence, it tells us that “your friend” consistently or regularly gives good advice at school.
