* The equivalent of United States in Spanish may be used with (plural noun) or without an article (singular noun). Without an article, the verbs are conjugated in singular (Estados Unidos es), while with an article, they are conjugated in plural (Los Estados Unidos son). This textbook will use the plural form with an article.

**The acronym for USA in Spanish has been historically formatted following different conventions. The Royal Spanish Academy suggests the use of EE. UU. and that is the form that will be used throughout the textbook.
