Spanish Nouns Part 1

Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine. The masculine nouns usually end in o and the feminine in a. There are a few exceptions that we will discuss a little later.

A noun is a person (George Bush, Bill Gates), place (Washington D.C., Los Angelos), thing (chair, bridge), or idea (happiness, sadness).

Masculine nouns usually end in o. The always use the articles un, unos, el, or los.

Masculine nouns usually are made plural by adding -s. Of course there are exceptions to this that we will talk about in part 2.

Plurallos gatosunos gatos

Feminine nouns usually end in a and always use the articles una, unas, la, or las.

To make feminine nouns plural, usually you will just add an -s. Again there are exceptions that we will cover in part 2.
