Common Mistakes

  • Aceptamos todos las tarjetas.

    ‘Todos’ is masculine; the noun ‘tarjetas’ is feminine, so the adjective must be ‘todas’.

  • Aceptamos todas los tarjetas.

    The definite article must agree with the feminine noun, so use ‘las’ not ‘los’.

  • Acepta todas las tarjetas.

    ‘Acepta’ is third‑person singular; the subject is ‘nosotros’, so the verb must be ‘aceptamos’.

Alternatives

  • Aceptamos cualquier tarjeta.

    We accept any card.

  • Aceptamos todas las tarjetas de crédito y débito.

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries it’s common to specify the type of card (tarjeta de crédito, tarjeta de débito) because some establishments only take one or the other. The phrase is perfectly neutral, but in very formal contexts you might hear ‘Aceptamos tarjetas de crédito y débito.’ Also, remember that ‘tarjeta’ is feminine, so adjectives and articles must match its gender.
