algunos vs algunas
Hola Pirani,
The noun vez is feminine - La vez / una vez, therefore you have to use alguna vez [at some time / on an occasion, ever] or algunas veces [sometimes - plural]. Algunos would be used with a masculine noun, for example "algunos coches."
Here is a great lesson for you to have a bit of fun with. Have a close look at the yellow "Tip" box because there is a very useful instruction in it.
Saludos. John
Using algún (a, as, os) to say some or any in Spanish
Also the word algun@s is interesting because it changes its English meaning depending how we use it. We see this in the lesson that John linked, but here is a summary, because it took me a while to figure this out.
ALGUN@S NOUNS: means "some of the noun". Ex: "algunas veces" = sometimes, "algunos lugares" = some places
ALGUN@ IN A QUESTION: means "any". Ex: "Tienes algún problema" = do you have any problems, "Hay alguna pregunta" = are there any questions
ALGUN@ NOUN: means "some random". See the examples in the lesson.
Cheers.
