Singular Nouns – Part I
What is a noun?
A noun is a word used to denote a:
person
place
thing
All Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine.
Usually - although not always - masculine nouns end with –o and
feminine nouns end with –a
Examples of masculine nouns which end in –o would be:
vaso ..........glass
plato ......... plate
cuchillo ..... knife
libro .......... book
Examples of feminine nouns ending in –a would be:
taza .......... cup
mesa ........ table
cuchara .... spoon
cabeza ...... head
4
Sometimes, with nouns relating to persons or animals, the –o or –a at
the end will change, depending on whether it relates to male or
female.
Some examples of this are:
gato .......... male cat
gata .......... female cat
abuelo ...... grandfather
abuela ...... grandmother
tío ............. uncle
tía ............. aunt
chico ......... boy
chica ......... girl
