Questions & Answers about Ochenta estudiantes viajan a España.

Does the word ochenta change depending on whether the students are male or female?
No, it stays exactly the same! Unlike numbers in the hundreds, the tens from thirty to ninety (including ochenta) do not change their endings to match the gender of the noun. It will always be ochenta.
Is the word estudiantes masculine or feminine in this sentence?
The noun estudiante ends in -e, so it can be either masculine (el estudiante) or feminine (la estudiante). Because there is no article like los or las in front of it here, we do not know the exact gender makeup of the group, but the plural estudiantes perfectly covers any mix!
Why does the verb viajar (to travel) change to viajan?
The subject of the sentence is Ochenta estudiantes (Eighty students), which acts as a "they" subject. For regular verbs ending in -ar like viajar, the "they" form drops the -ar and adds -an, resulting in viajan.
Why is there an a before España?
The word a translates to "to" when you are talking about motion or going to a destination. Whenever you travel, go, or walk to a place, you will use a right before the destination.
