Questions & Answers about Pagas veintiocho pesos hoy.

Why is veintiocho written as one word instead of "veinte y ocho"?
For numbers 21 through 29, Spanish combines them into a single word. To do this, drop the final "e" in veinte, replace it with an "i", and attach the second number. So, twenty-eight becomes veintiocho.
Why isn't the word tú (you) in this sentence?
The verb pagas already means "you pay" because of its -as ending. In Spanish, you can usually leave out subject pronouns like tú or yo because the verb itself tells you exactly who is doing the action.
Is the "h" in hoy pronounced?
No, the letter "h" is always silent in Spanish. You just pronounce the vowels, so hoy sounds exactly like the "oy" in the English word "boy".
Could I put hoy at the beginning of the sentence?
Yes! Spanish word order is quite flexible. You will often see words about time placed at either the beginning or the end of a sentence. Hoy pagas veintiocho pesos is completely correct and means the exact same thing.
