SPANISH GRAMMAR
1. Gender of Words
Spanish nouns are all classified as either masculine or feminine. The gender of the noun
does not imply that the noun is owned or used by a male or a female. Instead, the gender of
Spanish nouns is determined by the way the word is spelled.
•
•
•
Nouns ending with “o” are usually masculine.
Nouns ending with “a” are usually feminine.
If the noun does not end with “o” or “a”, refer to the article, the little word in front.
(El, los, un, and unos are masculine. La, las, una, and unas are feminine.)
2. Making Nouns Plural
There are three simple rules for making a noun plural in Spanish.
1. If the noun ends with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), add “s”.
2. If the noun ends with a consonant, add “es”.
3. If the noun ends with the letter “z”, change “z” to “c” then add “es”.
The definite articles and indefinite articles must also change.
Definite articles:
el
la
los
las
Indefinite articles:
un
una
unos
unas
