SPANISH NOUNS Página 12
A noun is a word used to identify people, animals,
places, things, or ideas. Unlike English, all Spanish nouns, even
those that refer to non-living things, have gender; that is, they are
considered either masculine or feminine. As in English, nouns in
Spanish also have number, meaning that they are either singular or
plural.
¿ ?
Because the gender of nouns that refer to non-
living things cannot be determined by foolproof
rules, you should memorize the gender of each
DEFINITE ARTICLES
noun you learn. It is helpful to learn each noun
with its corresponding ARTICLE, EL for masculine
and LA for feminine.

INDEFINITE ARTICLES
What is the difference
between definite articles and
indefinite articles?
Definite articles are referring to something SPECIFIC.
Ex: I am looking for the boy with blue hair.

Indefinite articles are NOT SPECIFIC.

Ex: I am looking for a boy. (could be any boy)

 Telling Time
(Cómo decir la hora)
In both
English and Spanish,
the verb to be (ser)

When we ask what time
it is in Spanish, we say
“¿Qué hora es?”

Some people also say “¿Qué

horas son?”
 ¿Qué hora es?
The third-person singular of ser is used
with one o’clock since it is just one hour
(hora). 12
