Spanish Nouns

In Spanish, nouns have gender and they can be either masculine or feminine. It is important to know the gender of a noun in order to use the correct article "el" for masculine nouns or "la" for feminine nouns.

Pluralization of Spanish nouns is generally formed by adding "-s" to the end of a masculine noun and "-s" or "-es" to the end of a feminine noun. However, there are some irregular plural forms in Spanish, so it is important to learn the plural form of a noun along with its singular form.

Noun placement in Spanish sentences is similar to English, with the subject of the sentence usually coming before the verb. However, in Spanish, the noun can also come after the verb, especially in questions or statements that begin with an adverb or prepositional phrase.

In Spanish, many nouns can have prefixes and suffixes added to them to create new words. For example, the suffix "-ista" can be added to a noun to indicate someone who practices or is an expert in that field, such as "feminista" (feminist). The prefix "pre-" can be added to a noun to indicate something that occurs before the noun, such as "prenupcial" (prenuptial).
