Locate a book, discuss library books and describe what a book is about.
The idea
Libro means book and is masculine: el libro, un libro. The plural is los libros. Use de to introduce a subject, as in libro de recetas.
Examples
- El libro está sobre la mesa.The book is on the table.
- Leo un libro antes de dormir.I read a book before sleeping.
- Estos libros son de la biblioteca.These books belong to the library.
- ¿Dónde está tu libro de español?Where is your Spanish book?
- Devolvemos los libros mañana.We return the books tomorrow.
- Ella busca un libro de recetas.She is looking for a recipe book.
Read-aloud uses a synthetic Spanish voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Spanish device voice is available. You can still read the text.
Watch out
The word biblioteca refers to a library; it is not the Spanish word for a book itself.
