  2. Nouns/ Sustantivo o Nombre • A noun is a word used to denote a person, place, thing, or idea. Person: John, girl, dentistPlace: garden, university, VenezuelaThing: book, car, tomatoIdea: liberty, despair, intelligence

  3. - Nouns in Spanish have gender. (Masculine, Feminine)- You can tell a gender of a noun by looking at the ARTICLE that goes in front of it.- DEFINITE ARTICLES (ways to say “THE”)

  4. Almost all nouns that end in –O are masculine. • Almost all nouns that end in –A are feminine. • Like everything else in Spanish there are exceptions. (el día, el programa, la mano, el clima, el mapa)

  5. For words that don’t end in O/A there are other helpful ways to identify their gender. • Nouns that end in –L, -O, -N, -E, -R, -S are masculine. (Remember LONERS) • Nouns that end in –D, -ión, -Z, -A are feminine. (Remember DIONZA)

  6. - There is also a set of INDEFINITE articles in Spanish. (Ways to say “A”, and “SOME”) • - The rules for choosing which indefinite article to use are the same as the definite articles.

  7. MAKING NOUNS PLURAL • To make nouns plural follow these rules: • For nouns that end in a vowel --> add an “S” • For nouns that end in a consonant --> add an “ES” • For nouns that end in “Z”, change the “Z” to a “C” and then add “ES”
