Questions & Answers about El hablante nativo ayuda a mejorar mi pronunciación.
Why is nativo used in this sentence instead of nativa?
In Spanish, nativo is the masculine form, while nativa is the feminine form. Here, it likely refers to a male native speaker or uses the masculine form in a general sense.
Why does ayuda require the preposition a before mejorar?
In Spanish, certain verbs (like ayudar) are typically followed by the preposition a when another verb comes right after. So you would say ayudar a + [infinitive], in this case a mejorar.
Could the sentence also begin with Un hablante nativo or El hablante nativo interchangeably?
Un hablante nativo means "a native speaker," referring to any native speaker in general. El hablante nativo means "the native speaker," referring to a specific person or group of people. Both are correct but have slightly different nuances.
Why is mi pronunciación used instead of mis pronunciaciones?
Mi pronunciación is singular because it refers to your overall way of pronouncing words. If you said mis pronunciaciones, it would suggest multiple distinct pronunciations. Generally, it’s more common to talk about a single, overall pronunciation in Spanish.
