Common Mistakes

  • También es una bueno mochila.

    The adjective must agree with the feminine noun 'mochila', so use 'buena'.

  • También está una buena mochila.

    Use 'es' (ser) for a permanent quality, not 'está' (estar) which describes temporary states.

  • Es una buena mochila también.

    Placing 'también' at the end can change the emphasis and sounds unnatural in this context.

Alternatives

  • También es una mochila de calidad.

    It's also a quality backpack.

  • Además, es una mochila muy resistente.

    Besides, it's a very sturdy backpack.

  • Es una mochila buena, también.

    It's a good backpack, too.

Cultural Tip

In most Spanish‑speaking countries 'mochila' is the everyday word for a school or travel backpack. When talking about quality, adjectives like 'buena', 'resistente' or 'de calidad' are preferred over 'bonita', which only refers to appearance.
