Primero, ella preparó la cena.

Primero, ella preparó la cena.

The sentence in the title is from a scene in the Rosetta Stone in which a woman prepares her dinner, then eats it, then clears the table.

My question is: In the above title, why is "primero" used rather than "primera" or even "primer"?

By the way, I'd probably have the same question about the gender selection for any ordinal number.

Gracias

when is about words being used as transitions you have to use masculine form... like in this case to set an order in your actions: primero, haces la pregunta segundo, yo te respondo tercero, tu duda queda aclarada ( o al menos eso espero! lol )
