LESSON 2 (MALE/FEMELE SINGULAR/PLURAL & SOME ARTICLES)

MALE/FEMELE

     The spanish language has words male or femele, the first rul to know what is each one is in the end of the word ex:

        casa.........femele            perro........male
        una..........femele            uno...........male
        joya.........femele            saco.........male

as you can see the words endig with-a are femel and the words ending with-o are male
(there are exeptions like sofá) this is a good rul to start we'll see more later.

SINGULAR/PLURAL

   we make the plural just adding one -s in the end ex:

       casa(singular).....casas(plural)
       una....................unas
       joya..................joyas
       perro................perros
       uno...................unos
       saco.................sacos

       la.......the (femele singular)                  una...........a(female singular)
       los.....the (male plural)                        unos.........some(male plural)
       las.....the (femele plural)                      unas.........some(female plural)

ex: en LA casa hay UNOS gatos (at home there is some cats)

        la casa es grande.................the house is big
        el perro está comiendo........the dog is eating
