In Spanish, the position of Articles, Nouns y Adjectives in a sentence is the SAME as in English.

For example:

The horrible restaurant

El horrible restaurante

• True

• False

Answer explanation

In Spanish we invert the order

- first we put the noun (what we´re talking about)

- after we put the adjective (description)

The horrible restaurant

El restaurante horrible

Nouns en español can be Masculine or Feminine. ♂♀

What is that concept all about?

• Masculino is for tough & strong words

• Femenino is for girly & pretty words

• Masculino y Femenino are simply 2 arbitrary categories not based on anything logical

Answer explanation

We must forget to associate Masculine/Feminine to macho or girly things.

They are simply grammar categories.

Figuring out if a word is Masculine or Feminine in Spanish is super easy:

• all words that end in -a are Feminine
• all words that end in -o are Masculine

• True

• False

Answer explanation

Remember that also:

• some words end in -a and are Masculine
• some words end in -o and are Feminine
• some words end in -e and are both Masculine & Feminine (grande)

The only way of finding out 100% is either:

• ask someone see
• if in Quizlet the word comes with El (Masculine) or La (Feminine)
• check an online dictionary like Wordreference and find out the word gender, NM for Nombre Masculino & NF for Nombre Femenino

Basic Grammar

If we are talking about a Masculine Noun, the Adjetives and Articles need to match and be Masculine as well.

If we are talking about a Feminine Noun, the Adjetives and Articles need to match and be Feminine as well.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

This is a very important concept.
