  4. Definite Article Rules

  5. Nouns Have Genders • In English, we have one definite article, which is “the.” It can be used with all of the nouns in our language. • In Spanish, nouns or “sustantivos” have genders. • They can be either masculine nouns or feminine nouns.

  6. El versus La • The article “el” indicates that a noun is masculine (masculino) and singular. • Example: El libro(the book) is masculine because it is modified by the article “el.” • The article “la” indicates that a noun is feminine (femenino) and singular. • Example: La escuela(the school) is feminine because it is modified by the article “la.”

  7. Rule of Thumb • Typically, if a noun ends in “o” it is masculine. • Example: El libro • Typically, if a noun ends in “a” it is feminine. • Example: La escuela

  8. Exceptions to the Rule • There are some words that do not fit the el = o and la = a rule. • Example: Elmapa • What do you do??? • MEMORIZE THE GENDER WHEN YOU LEARN NEW VOCABULARY!!!
