What is a noun?

A noun is a word used to denote a:
person
place
thing

All Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine.
Usually - although not always - masculine nouns end with –o and
feminine nouns end with –a

Examples of masculine nouns which end in –o would be:

vaso ..........glass
plato ......... plate
cuchillo ..... knife
libro .......... book

Examples of feminine nouns ending in –a would be:

taza .......... cup
mesa ........ table
 cuchara .... spoon
 cabeza ...... head

Sometimes, with nouns relating to persons or animals, the –o or –a at
the end will change, depending on whether it relates to male or
female.

Some examples of this are:

 gato .......... male cat
 gata .......... female cat
 abuelo ...... grandfather
 abuela ...... grandmother
 tío ............. uncle
 tía ............. aunt
 chico ......... boy
 chica ......... girl
