Frequent doubts

Why “se venden pisos” in the plural?

In the pasiva refleja the verb agrees with the noun: se vende un piso, se venden pisos.

How is it different from the impersonal se?

The impersonal se always goes with a singular verb and has no subject: Se vive bien aquí. The pasiva refleja agrees with a thing: Se venden coches.

Is “se alquila habitaciones” correct?

No: with a plural noun the verb must be plural: Se alquilan habitaciones.
