✕Common Mistakes

  • ¿Me trae otra almohada a mi habitación?

    ‘Trae’ is 3rd‑person singular; you need the 2nd‑person form ‘traes’ when speaking to the person directly.

  • ¿Me traes otra almohada mi habitación?

    Leaving out the preposition ‘a’ makes the sentence sound incomplete; the destination must be introduced with ‘a’.

  • ¿Me traes otro almohada a mi habitación?

    Using the masculine ‘otro almohada’ is incorrect; ‘almohada’ is feminine, so the adjective must be ‘otra’.

↔Alternatives

  • ¿Podrías traerme otra almohada a mi habitación?

    Could you bring me another pillow to my room?

  • ¿Me puedes dar otra almohada en mi habitación?

    Can you give me another pillow in my room?

  • Necesito otra almohada, ¿me la traes a la habitación?

    I need another pillow, can you bring it to the room?

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries a direct request like ‘¿Me traes…?’ is perfectly acceptable among friends or hotel staff, but in more formal settings you’ll often hear the conditional form ‘¿Podrías…?’ or the addition of ‘por favor’ to soften the request.
