The word that is used for "the" before the noun depends not only on this gender but also if the noun is singular or plural. Usually words that end in -o or - ma are masculine and words ending in -a or -dad or -ie are feminine. La=the for feminine singular and Las=the for fem plural. El and Los are for male nouns. Add an s to the end of plurals Of course when we want to say my (noun) or this (noun) or that (noun) we don't use the word la or the el. We just say my book or mi libro. Adjectives are words that describe nouns. For example the big room or the white dog. In spanish unlike english - adjectives come after the nouns they describe. We might say ...el libro grande which means the large book. Putting It Together In spanish the verb follows the subject in a sentence. For example.... Yo necesito un sombrero is comprised of A) I -the subject B) need -the verb C) a hat -a noun We even get a little more complicated by using an adjective and a 2nd verb. Yo necesito ir al banco grande. Means I need to go to the big bank. Yo is the subject. Necesito is the verb. Ir is a second verb. Al is made from the word a (to) and the el(the) from banco. We put them together to form al. Finally we have banco or bank. THIS IS THE LAST FORMAL LESSON.
