Spanish nouns always come with a gender—either masculine or feminine—and this affects not only the nouns themselves but also all the words connected to them. When you make a noun plural, you don’t just add an “s” like in English; you follow specific rules based on the ending of the word. Plus, everything in the sentence has to match in both gender and number.
- Nouns are either masculine (usually ending in -o) or feminine (usually ending in -a).
- Plural forms are created by adding -s or -es, depending on the noun’s ending.
- Adjectives and articles must change to agree with the noun’s gender and number.
You change the noun’s ending and also adjust any articles/adjectives to match the new plural form.
Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine.
For nouns ending in -z, change the z to c and add -es.
