Common Mistakes

  • También tenemos una mago.

    The noun 'mago' is masculine, so the correct article is 'un'.

  • También tengo un mago.

    Use 'tenemos' for 'we'; 'tengo' is first‑person singular.

  • Tenemos también un mago.

    Placing 'también' after the verb is grammatically correct but less natural in this context.

Alternatives

  • También contamos con un mago.

    We also count on a magician.

  • Hay también un mago entre nosotros.

    There is also a magician among us.

  • Además, tenemos un mago.

    Besides that, we have a magician.

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries, 'mago' can refer to a stage illusionist, a folk wizard, or a character in a fantasy story. If you mean a professional illusionist, you might also hear 'ilusionista'. The placement of 'también' at the start adds a slightly stronger emphasis than placing it after the verb.
