Nouns Have Gender

Beginner

In Spanish, every noun is either masculine or feminine, even if it has nothing to do with biological sex.

Example:

  • El libro (the book – masculine)

  • La mesa (the table – feminine)


The gender affects which articles (el, la, un, una) and adjectives you use.

  • El perro negro (the black dog)

  • La casa blanca (the white house)
