Masculine and feminine definite article for nouns, and their plural forms. Spanish grammar exercise 1.1 and 1.2. Shallon M. Vaye

https://share.mayfirst.org/s/J82nqLpBEeECRq9

This is the link to the assignment I did. A few things I learn while doing the assignment were the appropriate masculine and feminine definite articles for some nouns. I realized that most masculine nouns end with -o and are accompanied by the definite article "el", but it's not always the case, so we just have to know the definite article for some nouns. For the feminine nouns, they end in -a and are accompanied by the definite article "la"

An example could be

Feminine: la amiga

Masculine: el amigo

The plural form of masculine and feminine nouns is determined by adding -s if the word ends with a vowel, and -es if it ends with a consonant. The definite article for plural masculine nouns is "los" and "las" for feminine nouns.

These are a few things that I have learned, and I hope to learn more.
