50. Grammar rules:
In english some nouns have gender – mainly living beings.
The woman = female
The table = no gender
The thought = no gender
In spanish all nouns have gender
La mujer = female
La mesa = female
El pensamiento = male

51. Grammar rules:
To determine which Spanish nouns are feminine and which ones are masculine one must look at ending of the word.
Generally nouns that end in the letter “a” are considered feminine
…and nouns that end in the letter “o” are masculine
Nouns that end in other vowels, such as “e” can be either feminine or masculine. (you will learn them on time).

52. In English and in Spanish one cannot predict the gender of a noun, except in the case of living creatures. Do not try to analyze the nature of the object, looking for some inherent masculinity or femininity. It won't work! Look at spelling.
