Questions & Answers about Tengo treinta preguntas.

Does the number treinta change to feminine since preguntas is a feminine word?

No, treinta stays exactly the same whether it's counting masculine or feminine things. Out of the numbers you've learned so far, only the number one (un / una) and numbers ending in one (like veintiún / veintiuna) change to match the gender of the noun.

Is it wrong to say Yo tengo treinta preguntas?

Not at all, but it sounds more natural to just say Tengo. Because the verb form tengo (I have) already tells us who is doing the action, the pronoun yo (I) is usually dropped unless you really want to emphasize that I am the one with the questions.

If 21 is written as one word (veintiuno), is 31 written as a single word too?

No, the twenties are special! Numbers from 21 to 29 merge into a single word (like veintidós). But starting at 31, you use three separate words connected by y (and). For example, 31 is treinta y uno.

I recognize preguntas from the verb preguntar (to ask). Is it a verb or a noun here?
