NOUNS & Gender
Masculine Vs. Feminine
It is very important for you to remember if a NOUN is masculine or feminine. This is because such word is going to dictate the gender of the ARTICLE, DEMONSTRATIVE, ADJECTIVE, etc. that might go with it.
For example, given the word gimnasio, which is masculine, then:
- EL gimnasio NUEVO
Now, given the word casa, which is feminine, then:
- LA casa NUEVA
