Questions & Answers about La información es verdadera.
Why does the sentence start with la? In English, we often just say information without the.
La is the definite article, meaning the.
In Spanish, abstract nouns like información often appear with an article more naturally than in English. So:
- La información es verdadera. = The information is true.
If you remove the article and say Información es verdadera, that sounds unnatural in normal Spanish.
Spanish also uses articles differently from English in general, so it is very common to see el/la where English would use no article.
Is información singular or plural?
Información is grammatically singular.
That is why the verb is es and not son:
- La información es verdadera. = singular
- Las informaciones son verdaderas. = plural, but this is much less common
Like English information, información is usually treated as an uncountable idea. In most everyday situations, Spanish prefers the singular.
Why is información feminine?
