How to use it
Teatro means 'theatre' (building or art form). Masculine: el teatro. Plural teatros. Distinct from cine — teatro is live; cine is film.
Common mistake
Teatro is for live performances; cine is for films. English 'theatre' covers both in some dialects (American English uses theater for both); Spanish keeps them distinct.
