Common Mistakes

  • Las notas sale pronto.

    ‘Sale’ is singular; the subject ‘las notas’ is plural, so the verb must be ‘salen’.

  • Las notas pronto salen.

    Placing ‘pronto’ before the verb is possible but sounds less natural in this context; the usual order is verb + adverb.

  • Las notas salen pronto

    Missing the period or accent does not affect meaning, but for written Spanish you should end the sentence with a period and use the correct accent on ‘pronto’ (none needed).

Alternatives

Cultural Tip

In most Spanish‑speaking countries, ‘las notas’ is the everyday term for school grades. Asking about them is a common conversation after mid‑terms or finals. Keep the tone informal with friends (using ‘salen pronto’) but switch to a more formal register (e.g., ‘las calificaciones estarán disponibles pronto’) in official communications.
