La regla · The rule
The conversation moves: tienes razón (you are right), no tienes razón (you are wrong — say it gently), es verdad que… pero (it is true that… but), para nada (not at all), estoy de acuerdo (I agree).
Y también · And also
The polite disagreement is a B1 exam favorite: Es verdad que el fútbol es divertido, pero aun así, prefiero el tenis. Agree a little, then turn. Aunque (although) with a plain fact takes the indicative: aunque llueve, salgo.
Ojo · Watch out
tener razón is HAVING right: tienes razón, never eres razón. And para nada is one fixed phrase meaning not at all — it is not for nothing.
Do it now — on paper
Say all 9 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with tienes razón.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
Write two sentences of your own that get the watch-out line right, then the two practice pages of workbook lesson 27 in Module 6 are the written half of this page.
This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The Spanish Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
