4 2. Two things you can tell about a Spanish noun by looking at the article are: gender and the number Wow, articles are powerful in Spanish!

5 gender 3. In Spanish, nouns distinguish between masculine and feminine. (gender) 4. We say that ALL nouns carry a gender. When a noun ends in: 5. -o it is normally masculine 6. -a it is normally feminine

7 exceptions 8. There are exceptions: You have to look at the article (el, la, los, las) to make sure. Example: la mano The article determines the gender so the gender of la mano is………feminine Not all nouns end with –o and –a Example: la nariz, 9. The gender of nouns that don’t end in O or A must be memorized!

8 10. You can´t predict the gender of a noun, except in the case of a living creature. Don´t try to analyze the nature of the object, looking for some inherent masculinity or femininity. It won't work! 11. Example: el vestido

9 number 12. Spanish nouns also distinguish between singular and plural. 13. We say that each noun carries a number. If a noun is preceded by 14. los or las it is a plural noun 15. el or la it is a singular noun # More than 1

10 Sooooo, the article tells : 16. The gender (feminine or masculine) and the number of the noun (singular or plural).
