Nouns – gender and number Sustantivos Nouns – gender and number

Nouns Nouns are words which identify people, animals, places, things, or ideas. In Spanish, all nouns (even those that refer to non-living things), are considered even masculine or feminine. They also have number which means they are either singular or plural.

Nouns referring to living things Masculine nouns Feminine nouns El hombre –the man Ending in –o El chico – the boy El pasajero – the male passenger Ending in –or El conductor – the male driver El professor – the male teacher Ending in -ista El turista – the male tourist La mujer – the woman Ending in –a La chica – the girl La pasajera – the female passenger Ending in –ora La conductor – the female driver La profesora – the female teacher Ending in –ista La turista – the female tourist

Non-living things Masculine nouns Feminine nouns Ending in –o El cuaderno – the notebook El diario – the diary El diccionario – the dictionary El número – the number El video – the video Ending in –ma El problema – the problem El programa – the program Ending in –s El autobus – the bus El país – the country Ending in –a La cosa – the thing La escuela – the school La computadora – the computer La maleta – the suitcase La palabra – the word Ending in -ción La lección – the lesson La conversación – the conversation Ending in –dad La nacionalidad – the nationality La comunidad – the community

Noun rules Some nouns endings suggest gender. Not all nouns can be determined by fool-proof rules. Memorize gender of noun as you learn the word. There are some exceptions to the rules: El día and el mapa end in a but they are masculine. La mano ends in –o but it is feminine.

Plural of nouns Nouns that end in a vowel are made plural by adding – s El chico – los chicos la chica – las chicas Nouns that end in a consonant are made plural by adding – es La comunidad – las comunidades el país – los países Nouns that end in –z change the z to c and add –es. El lápiz – los lápices el pez – los peces When a noun has an accent on the last syllable, drop the accent when it is made plural. La lección – las lecciones el autobús – los autobuses. When a group has both male and female the plural form is masculine. 1 chico + 1 chica = 2 chicos
