True or False: the numbers 21-29 cannot be changed into a compound word when written in Spanish because they end in an A.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

Because the numbers 21-29 all end in an E, we can change the E to an I and then combine the prefix with the suffix containing the next number.

EX: 21 = veintiuno.

EX: 24 = veinticuatro

Once we get to 31, things change! 31 is the word treinta. We can no longer write this number as one word. What word do we need to write between treinta and uno?

• and

• or

• if

• y
