Mini Lesson: ¿Bien o Bueno? (A2) / Perífrasis Verbales (A3-C2)

la mini-lección: ¿Bien o bueno? A2

 

We will cover the differences in use of the words bien, bueno, mal, malo, muy, and mucho.

 

Bien, mal, muy, and mucho are adverbs. 

They modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs, and they are invariable 

(Invariable = does not change its form for tense, number or gender).

 

For example:

Estoy bien. (I’m well)

La piscina es bien grande. (The pool is pretty big)

Duermo mal. (I sleep badly)

Cantamos bastante mal. (We sing quite badly)

Hablas muy rápido. (You speak very fast)

Mis padres trabajan mucho. (My parents work a lot)

 

Bueno, malo, and also mucho are adjectives. 

They are used to modify nouns, and have to agree in gender and number with the noun they modify.

 

For example:

Soy una buena persona. (I’m a good person)

Tus perros son tan buenos. (Your dogs are so good)

Su discurso fue malo. (His/her speech was bad)

Esta es una película mala. (This is a bad film)

Hay mucha gente. (There’s a lot of people)

He leído muchos libros. (I’ve read many books)
