Questions & Answers about Son trescientos euros.
Why does the sentence use son instead of es when the English translation says 'It is'?
Why does the word for three hundred (trescientos) end in an 's'?
Does trescientos change if I am counting a feminine word instead of euros?
Yes! Unlike numbers 1 through 99, the hundreds in Spanish change to match the gender of the noun. Since euros is a masculine word, we use trescientos. If you were counting a feminine word like libras (pounds), you would say trescientas libras.
Why is there no word for 'it' or 'they' at the beginning of the sentence?
