Nouns and ArticlesSra. AlbaSpanish 1
Nouns-Sustantivos A noun identifies people, animals,
places, things, or ideas. Unlike English, all Spanish nouns, even
those that refer to non-living things, have gender-masculine or feminine.
As in English, nouns in Spanish also have number, meaning that they are wither singular or plural.
