✕Common Mistakes
Aquí tú las llaves de tu nuevo apartamento.
Use the verb form 'tienes' (you have). 'tú' is a pronoun and cannot replace the verb.
Aquí tienes la llaves de tu nuevo apartamento.
‘Llaves’ is feminine plural, so the article must be 'las', not 'la'.
Aquí tienes las llaves de tu nueva apartamento.
The adjective must match the gender of the noun; 'apartamento' is masculine, so 'nuevo' is correct. Do not use 'nueva'.
Aquí tienes las llaves de tu nuevo apartamento.
When you need the formal register, replace 'tu' with 'su' and 'tienes' with 'tiene'.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, handing over the keys is often accompanied by a warm welcome, such as saying “¡Bienvenido a tu nuevo hogar!” If you are speaking to someone you don’t know well or in a professional setting, switch to the formal form: “Aquí tiene las llaves de su nuevo apartamento.”
