Is it correct to say "es secretaria en una gran compañía" without the "una" before "secretaria"? Thanks a lot.

No you would just say: Es secretaría en una gran compañía, and as secretaría is femenine you certainly wouldn't say un and niether is una necasary.

Why isn't una necessary? - idahorsegirl, Dec 29, 2009
Because when you say what someones occupation is you just say es and then the occupation e.g. mi hijo es profesor, mis hijos son pofesores, tu eres profesor, soy profesor etc. - kenwilliams, Dec 29, 2009
Hey and thanks for showing me how to spell necessary my spelling on the whole is ok but I always seem to have trouble with that word. - kenwilliams, Dec 29, 2009

Gran means great and grande means big so is it a great company or a big one? example: Christabel Colón era un gran hombre he was a great man and that is not referring to his height, he may have been tiny.

That doesn't address the question. "hombre" is also masculine. The question refers to "gran/grande" before a femine noun. - samdie, Dec 29, 2009

Shouldn't the adjective be "grande"? I believe "gran" (the shortened form) is only used before masculine nouns.
