Although learning the grammar of a language is not required to speak it, it can always be very useful. It can give you a very strong benchmark to continue learning independently. Grammar can also help you communicate more accurately.

This is the reason why we have decided to show you the main grammatical rules that will help you understand better the Spanish language grammar.

1. Nouns:

A noun refers to a person or a thing. It is the “who” in the sentence. Spanish nouns have gender so they may be masculine or feminine.

An example of this are the words ”niño”  (boy) and “niña” (girl). As you gain experience you can learn to differentiate the gender of the nouns. the general rule states that nouns ending in “o” are masculine while nouns ending in “a” are feminine.

There are some exceptions to the rule.

For instance, the word ”mano” (hand) and “radio” (radio) are feminine.

Curiously, words with origins in the Greek language and that end in “ma” are masculine. Two examples are “dilema” (dilemma) and “problema” (problem).

When you are learning new Spanish vocabulary, it is advisable that you learm a noun with its corresponding article.  That way you can remember the gender very easily. Examples: “la niña”, “el problema”, “el carro”, “el niño” and “la casa”.
