2 What are they? Person Place Thing Idea

3 In Spanish, unlike in English, every noun has a gender. femininemasculine With words describing people this does tend to match up with the gender of the person (so “mujer” is feminine while “hombre” is masculine. However, most words don’t line up that way. It is just a gramatical thing, not a gender thing like we think of it. Example: dress (vestido) is masculine even though women wear dresses, not men.

4 There aren’t totally set rules for telling gender in Spanish – to some extent you just need to memorize it until you get to the point where it will become second nature over time so you don’t need to even hardly think about it. (Hint: Memorize with the “el” and “la”) HOWEVER, there are certain endings to word that TEND to tell you gender. We don’t call these “rules” because there are quite a few exceptions and Spanish grammar rules don’t usually.
