Grammar Rules & Patterns
The 'I Wear' Pattern
Llevo + un/una + [clothing item]
To say what you are wearing, always start with 'Llevo'. Then add 'un' or 'una' and the clothing word.
The 'un' vs 'una' Rule
Use 'una' for words ending in -a. Use 'un' for many others.
Words like 'falda' and 'camisa' end in -a, so they use 'una'. It helps us know if the word is a 'girl' word.
The Color Rule
[Clothing Item] + [Color]
In Spanish, the color comes AFTER the clothing word. We say 'skirt blue', not 'blue skirt'.
