Questions & Answers about Ellas tienen muchas flores.
Why does the word for flowers end in '-es' (flores) instead of just '-s'?
Why is it muchas instead of muchos?
Muchas (many) is an adjective matching flores. Even though flor doesn't end in -a, it is a feminine noun. Because flores is feminine and plural, the word for 'many' must also be feminine and plural: muchas.
What is the difference between ellas and ellos?
Both mean 'they', but ellas is used when a group is made up entirely of females. If the group was all males, or a mix of males and females, you would use ellos.
Why is the verb tienen used here instead of tiene?
Tienen means 'they have.' You use it because the subject is Ellas (they). If the sentence was about just one person, like 'she has,' you would use the singular form tiene.
