Buy bread, count loaves and say how much bread you need.
The idea
Pan means bread and is masculine: el pan. Add -es for the plural panes, often used for separate loaves or breads. Un poco de pan means a little bread.
Examples
- El pan está fresco.The bread is fresh.
- Compro pan en la panadería.I buy bread at the bakery.
- ¿Quieres pan con queso?Would you like bread with cheese?
- Hay dos panes en la cesta.There are two loaves in the basket.
- Necesitamos un poco de pan.We need a little bread.
- Este pan tiene semillas.This bread contains seeds.
