The next category we’ll cover is words that end in “al.” Similar to “-or” words, these are often the same in both English and Spanish.


Let’s take a look at some examples:

animal
criminal
canal
central
comercial
legal
local
musical
natural
personal
rural
social


Again, like the “-or” words, these “-al” words have the emphasis on the last syllable (ex. “ani-MAL”).
