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

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
