Both the use of g and j offers no difficulty when preceding the vowels a, o and u. Doubts arise when the sound g\/j precedes e or i. At <a href=\"https:\/\/academiacontacto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Academia Contacto (opens in a new tab)\">Academia Contacto<\/a> we want to help you with questions about Spanish grammar. We tell you in which cases you have to use G and in which cases you should use J.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve decided to join a\nSpanish school, you&#8217;ll learn a lot of grammar. Perhaps one of the most\ndifficult questions is when to use G or J.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Spanish grammar: when using G<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In our Spanish school we are\ngoing to give you some tips and tricks to help you learn when to use G and when\nto use J. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written with G the prefix\nGEO- in words that are composed: geography (geograf\u00eda), geology (geolog\u00eda)&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is written with G the ending\n-GEN in names like origin (origen), margin(margen)&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the endings -g\u00e9lico, -genario,\n-genico, -genio, -genito, -gesimal, -g\u00e9simo, -g\u00e9tico and all its feminine and\nplurals. For example, in words such as angelic (ang\u00e9lico), twentieth (vig\u00e9simo),\nphotogenic (fotog\u00e9nico)&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All terminations are also written\nwith G: -gia, -gio, -gi\u00f3n, -gionario, -gioso and -girico. For example, in words\nsuch as magic (magia), religi\u00f3n (religi\u00f3n)&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All words with endings -ger and\n-gir are written with G in the infinitive verbs: to choose (escoger), to pretend\n(fingir), to correct (corregir), to protect (proteger)&#8230; However, there are\nexceptions that confirm the rule: weaving (tejer), crunching (crujir) and their\ncompounds are written with J. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, it is important to\nremember that G written with E and I has a strong guttural sound. In order for\nit to have the same soft sound as with A, U and O, it is necessary to place a U\nbetween G and E or between G and I: war (guerra), stew (guiso). When we want\nthe intermediate U to have sound, we should write it with a diaeresis: penguin\n(ping\u00fcino). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Spanish grammar: when using J<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Words are written with a J ending\n-jeria: counseling (conserjer\u00eda), locksmithing (cerrajer\u00eda)&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tenses of the verbs in which\nthe infinitive has that letter: crunch (crujir) -&gt; (cruje). Work (trabajar)-&gt;\n(trabaja).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Derived words whose original has\nJ: box (caja)-&gt; (cajita)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verbal forms that carry sound Je,\nJi as long as the infinitives do not carry either G or J: distract (distraer)\n-&gt; (distrajo). Deduct (deducir) -&gt; (deduje).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these little rules of\nSpanish grammar, you will be able to advance more in your Spanish classes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spanish grammar:&nbsp;When G isused and when J Spanish is a very rich language, although sometimes it is a little complicated to study.
