Tienes _______ materiales que me prestes para la clase de geometría.

algunos
algún
algunas
alguna

can someone please help. I cant figure out which of the four choices are supposed to fill the blank.

Is "materiales" singular or plural?

Is it masculine or feminine?

When you know that you will know exactly which one to pick.

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. You are working with an adjective. These are the forms:

algún + masculine singular noun
alguna + feminine singular noun
algunos + masculine plural noun
algunas + feminine singular noun

Look at "materials" which is a masculine plural noun. Now pick the one you need!

If you aren't sure, repost the answer and I'll check it for you.

To determine the correct choice to fill in the blank, you need to consider the gender and number of the noun "materiales" (materials) in Spanish. Since "materiales" is a plural noun, the correct choice should agree with this in both gender and number.

Now, let's look at the options:
- "algunos" is the masculine plural form, which means "some" (referring to masculine plural nouns).
- "algún" is the masculine singular form, which means "some" (referring to masculine singular nouns).
- "algunas" is the feminine plural form, which means "some" (referring to feminine plural nouns).
- "alguna" is the feminine singular form, which means "some" (referring to feminine singular nouns).

Since "materiales" is a masculine plural noun, the correct choice is "algunos".

Therefore, the sentence should be: "Tienes algunos materiales que me prestes para la clase de geometría." translated as "Do you have some materials that you can lend me for the geometry class?"
