How to use it

Árbol (tree) is a masculine noun — always use el/un: el árbol, un árbol. The plural is árboles. It refers to any large woody plant with a trunk, exactly as in English. Note the written accent on the first syllable (ár-bol).

Common mistake

English speakers sometimes forget the written accent and write 'arbol' — without it the stress shifts incorrectly to the second syllable. Always write árbol with the accent.
