  NOUN (THE PERSON, PLACE OR THING)
• Example UN PERRO MARRON
• MARRON COMES AFTER PERRO
• SO IN SPANISH, YOU ARE ACTUALLY SAYING A DOG
  BROWN.

Did you notice anything different about the
Spanish word for a with pets from last lesson?
Some of you may already have read this already.
Un gato
Una araña
A cat
A spider
Thats right, one says un, the other says una.
They both mean a so why are they different?
In Spanish all nouns (person, place or things)
are known as either Masculine or Feminine.

READ THIS SLIDE VERY CAREFULLY
Every NOUN in Spanish is either Masculine or
Feminine
A noun is a person, place or thing. Any word that
you can put the word a or the in front.
In Spanish, the words for a and the are
different, depending on if the word is masculine
or feminine.
ENGLISH
MASCULINE
FEMININE
UNA
A
UN
LA
EL
THE
REMEMBER It is the word itself which is either
masculine or feminine. You might own a female
cat, but the word for cat in Spanish will
always be masculine.
How do you know if a word is masculine or
feminine? You have to learn them!!
When you learn a new noun in Spanish, you will
always learn it with the extra words UN, UNA,
EL or LA. Just like you did with the words
for pets.
15
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW IF THE NOUN IS MASCULINE
OR FEMININE. IF THE NOUN IS FEMININE, IT HAS AN
EFFECT ON THE ADJECTIVE. LOOK
UNA TORTUGA LENTA A SLOW TURTLE
BECAUSE THE WORD FOR TURTLE IN SPANISH IS
FEMININE, YOU MUST ADD AN A TO THE ADJECTIVE
16
THERE ARE SOME OTHER RULES TO BE AWARE OF IF THE
COLOUR ALREADY ENDS IN AN E YOU DO NOT NEED TO
ADD ANOTHER. THERE ARE ALSO SOME COLOURS WHICH
ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WITH FEMININE NOUNS. THE
TABLE ON THE NEXT SLIDE WILL HELP YOU.
