- Gender: Most nouns ending in -o are masculine (e.g., niño - boy), and those ending in -a are feminine (e.g., niña - girl). There are exceptions, so it’s important to memorize tricky ones.
- Number: To form plurals, generally add -s if the noun ends in a vowel (e.g., libro → libros) and -es if it ends in a consonant (e.g., mujer → mujeres).
- Common vs Proper: Common nouns refer to general objects or concepts (e.g., ciudad - city), while proper nouns name specific people or places (e.g., Madrid).
