¿Cuánto cuesta el maíz?¿Cuánta cuesta la lechuga?¿Cuántos cuestan los pepinos?¿Cuántas cuestan las papas?

¿ Cuánto cuesta? How much does…cost?

*Remember that similar to an adjective, cuánto needs to agree (in number and in gender) with the noun that it is describing.

*Another item to remember – COSTAR is an irregular verb. It has a stem-change. The O changes to UE in all forms but nosotros and vosotros. It is important that verbs are congjugated to match the subject. In this case, the subject is the vegetable. Use the “él/ella” form for singular nouns and the “ellos/ellas” form for plural nouns.
