Questions & Answers about ¿Tienes una goma?
Why is there no word for "do" or "you" in the Spanish sentence?
How do I know this is a question if the words are in the exact same order as a normal statement?
Why is the word for "a" written as una instead of un here?
The word goma is a feminine noun, which is very common for Spanish words ending in the letter a. The word for "a" or "an" must match the gender of the noun it belongs to, so we use the feminine una to match goma.
Does goma mean an eraser here?
Yes! In Spain, goma is the standard, everyday word for a pencil eraser (it is short for goma de borrar). The English translation provided uses "rubber" because that is the British English word for an eraser.
