✕Common Mistakes
Sí, vemos más de inundaciones y sequías.
Do not add 'de' after 'más' when it directly modifies a noun; 'más inundaciones' is correct, not 'más de inundaciones'.
Sí, vemos hay más inundaciones y sequías.
Mixing two verbs ('vemos' and 'hay') creates an ungrammatical sentence.
Sí, vemos más inundaciónes y sequías.
The plural of 'inundación' is 'inundaciones' (‑es), not 'inundaciónes'.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, especially in Central America, the Andes, and parts of Mexico, extreme weather events like floods and droughts are linked to climate change and El Niño/La Niña cycles. When discussing these topics, a neutral or slightly formal register is preferred, and you may hear the verb 'haber' (hay) used more often than 'ver' in news headlines.
