GENDER OF NOUNS
In English, nouns can be masculine, feminine, or neuter (meaning having no gender).
**** In Spanish, however, every noun must be masculine or feminine.
There is no way to tell for sure what gender the noun is, so you must memorize if it is masculine or feminine. Don’t assume!

So, how do we know?
In Spanish we can look at the article (the little word that means “the” or “a”)
For example: El colegio = the high school
the word “el” tells us that it is masculine.
La escuela = the school
“la” tells us that it is Feminine.
**** A general rule is “if it ends in “o”, it’s masculine. If it ends in “a” it’s feminine.”
