Yes, but that has advantages of its own including you can speak more concisely in Spanish. Thus even that isn't a complete negative and it's probably Spanish's most difficult aspect to learn. English is going to lose to Spanish in a linguistic head-to-head on almost all fronts other than the fact it's more popular (a big deal in itself but that's not what we're discussing).

As someone who speaks both, and picked up Spanish later on in life (post-30), the fact I appreciate Spanish more as a language is a testament to its great design.
