7 Gender of Nouns

8 All nouns have gender. (i.e. masculine & feminine)
MURPHY Nouns name people, animals, places or things. You need to remember the following things about nouns in Spanish: All nouns have gender. (i.e. masculine & feminine) el chico (masculine) la chica (feminine) la falda (feminine) el pelo (masculine) index

9 la estudiante (feminine)
Usually a noun is masculine if it ends in an “o” and feminine if it ends in an “a”. However, when a word ends in a consonant you need to memorize the definite article with the noun. Here are some examples of nouns that end in consonants: el suéter (masculine) la mujer (feminine) la estudiante (feminine) el hombre (masculine) index

10 Making Nouns Plural To make nouns plural you usually add -s to words ending in a vowel and -es to words ending in a consonant. silla sillas teclado teclados cartel carteles

11 Articles…Definite v. Indefinite

12 Definite Articles El , La , Los and Las are called definite articles.
In English they mean “the”

13 Definite Articles We use El and Los with masculine nouns and La and Las with feminine nouns.

14 Indefinite Articles Un, Una, Unos, and Unas are indefinite articles.

15 Indefinite Articles Un and Una mean “a or an” in English.

16 Indefinite Articles Un and Unos are masculine and Una and Unas are feminine.

17 It’s a good idea to learn a noun with its definite article, el or la, because that will usually tell you the gender.

18 Subject Pronouns

(1st person) We You (2nd person) Ya’ll (SPAIN) (2nd person) He/ She/ It (3rd person) They
