Questions & Answers about Hay doscientas casas en el pueblo.
Why is it doscientas and not doscientos?
In Spanish, numbers in the hundreds (from 200 to 999) must match the gender of the noun they are counting. Since casas (houses) is a feminine word, doscientos changes to the feminine form, doscientas.
Why do we use hay for 'there are' instead of a plural verb?
Could I use están or son instead of hay to say 'there are'?
Does pueblo mean town or village?
It can mean both! A pueblo generally refers to any small settlement, so it translates well to either 'village' or 'town' depending on the context. A larger city would be a ciudad.
