GENDER OF NOUNS: A noun is a word representing a person, place, thing, or idea. In Spanish, all nouns are either masculine or feminine. Masculine Feminine el chico—boy la chica—girl el jardín—garden la universidad—university el miedo—fear la libertad—liberty Masculine Feminine el gato—male cat la gata—female cat el perro—male dog la perra—female dog el chico—boy la chica—girl el abuelo—grandfather la abuela—grandmother

Answer questions: How are all of the masculine nouns above alike? How are the feminine nouns alike? “El” and “la” both mean “the.”

GENDER OF NOUNS:

Nouns for people have natural gender. Other nouns have gender based

on their endings: Nouns that end in –o are usually masculine: libro, chico, carro. Nouns that end in –a are usually feminine: casa, chica, computadora.

There is no telling whether an inanimate object is masculine or feminine! Try predicting whether the Spanish words for the following things are masculine or feminine: book house money window For this reason, it is important to learn the definite article (“el” or “la”) whenever you learn a new noun. You can do this by finding the word’s gender in a dictionary.

Many nouns have gender that must be memorized.

_el_ corazón (heart), _la_ canción, _la_ nación, _el_ pulmón (lung).

_el_ ataud(coffin), _la_ salud,

_el_ agua, _el_ águila.

Actividad: Práctica 1 Guess whether the following nouns are masculine or feminine. If you think a noun is masculine, place “el” in front of it. If it is feminine, place “la” in front of it. Note that not all words end in an –o or an –a. Also, some ending in –o may be feminine or –a may be masculine (though this is rare). 1. ___ casa—house 2. ___ hombre—man 3. ___ mujer—woman 4. ___ carro—car 5. ___ muchacho—young man 6. ___ muchacha—young woman 7. ___ diccionario—dictionary 8. ___ tarea—homework 9. ___ voz—voice 10. ___ gabinete—cabinet 11. ___ corbata—neck tie 12. ___ vestido—dress
