Nouns - Gender  


Noun Gender
Nouns (people, places or things) in Spanish are a little different than nouns in English. That’s because in Spanish, nouns have gender. This means they can be masculine or feminine.

This is all much easier to understand when there are adjectives (words that describe) in the sentence in Spanish. The adjectives usually agree in gender with the nouns they describe.

Masculine vs. Feminine
