Common Mistakes

  • Tenemos cajas en varias tamaños.

    ‘varias’ is feminine; it must match the gender of the noun it modifies. Here it modifies ‘tamaños’ (masc.), so ‘varios’ is correct.

  • Hay cajas en varios tamaños.

    ‘Hay’ means ‘there is/are’ and does not convey ownership. Use ‘tenemos’ when you want to say ‘we have’.

  • Tenemos caja en varios tamaños.

    Singular ‘caja’ would contradict ‘varios tamaños’. Use the plural ‘cajas’ to match the idea of multiple boxes.

Alternatives

  • Disponemos de cajas de diferentes tamaños.

    We have boxes of different sizes.

  • Ofrecemos cajas en distintas medidas.

    We offer boxes in different measurements.

  • Hay cajas de varios tamaños disponibles.

    There are boxes of various sizes available.

Cultural Tip

In Spanish‑speaking business contexts, it’s common to use ‘tenemos’ to assert ownership or availability, while ‘disponemos de’ sounds slightly more formal. Remember that ‘varios’ only works with masculine nouns; if you were talking about ‘cajas’ directly (feminine), you would say ‘varias cajas’ instead of ‘varios cajas’. Also, avoid over‑using the English loanword ‘sizes’; the native term ‘tamaños’ is preferred in most professional settings.
