Gender that flips from French

Both languages have gender, but many nouns swap: le lait → LA leche, le sang → LA sangre. Don’t assume the French gender carries over.

Use the simple preterite in speech

French speech replaced the passé simple with passé composé; Spanish still uses the preterite everywhere — "hablé ayer", not "he hablado ayer".

ser vs estar (French has one être)

French merges both into être; Spanish splits it — ser for identity/permanent, estar for state/location. "Es aburrido" (boring) ≠ "está aburrido" (bored).
