  2. Well, the same is true of adjectives. You can’t use the exact same word to describe “mujer” that you use to describe “hombre.” Remember how you need to know if a noun is masculine or feminine, singular or plural to know whether to use el or la or los or las? el hombre la mujerlos hombres las mujeres
