Questions & Answers about ¿Tienes cuarenta o cincuenta libros?
Why do the numbers cuarenta and cincuenta both end in -enta?
In Spanish, the numbers for the "tens" from 40 to 90 all end in -enta. So, while 4 is cuatro, 40 becomes cuarenta. And while 5 is cinco, 50 becomes cincuenta. Recognizing this ending makes memorizing the tens much easier!
Would the numbers change if I was asking about feminine objects, like magazines (revistas)?
Why is there no word for "Do" at the start of this question?
Why is the word for "you" (tú) missing from this sentence?
