SPANISH GRAMMAR SUMMARY
Nouns are either masculine (m) or feminine (f). Most nouns ending in –o are masculine. Most nouns ending in –a are feminine.
Nouns ending in – dad,‐tud, ‐tad are feminine.
Some nouns ending in –ma are masculine.
Almost all nouns ending in –ión are feminine.
Plurals
To make a noun ending in a vowel plural, add an ‘s’:gato gatos; goma  gomas.
To make a noun ending in a consonant plural, add ‘es’: barbares
To make a noun ending in ‘z’ plural, remove the ‘z’ and change to ‘ces’: cruz 
cruces
Articles (a/the)
The article in Spanish changes for masculine and feminine.
a brother = un hermano; a sister = una hermana
some brothers = unos hermanos; some sisters = unas hermanas
the brother = el hermano; the sister = la hermana
the brothers = los hermanos; the sisters = las hermanas
SPANISH GRAMMAR SUMMARY
Adjectives in Spanish usually follow the noun and need to agree (masculine/feminine and singular/plural)
(1) Most Spanish adjectives end in –o and follow the pattern below:
un libro bonito = a nice book
unos libros bonitos = some nice books
una regla bonita = a nice ruler
unas reglas bonitas = some nice rulers
(2) Adjectives which end in a consonant or a –e only change for the plural.
un libro azul = a blue book; unos libros azules = some blue books
una regla verde = a green ruler; unas reglas verdes = some green rulers
(3) Some nationality adjectives do something slightly different.
un chico inglés = an English boy; una chica inglesa = an English girl;
unos chicos ingleses = some English boys; unas chicas inglesas = some English girls
(4) Adjectives which end in ‘a’ already – such as pesimista – don’t change to ‘o’. un chico pesimista = a pessimistic boy; unos chicos pesimistas = some pessimistic boys
(5) There is a small group of adjectives such as hablador/trabajador which have a feminine ending too: una chica habladora = a chatty girl
SPANISH GRAMMAR SUMMARY
Verbs in Spanish change their ending to show who is doing the action.
All infinitives (full forms) end in –AR, ‐ER, ‐IR.
Pronouns (I, you, he/she, we, you plural, they) exist in Spanish but are used much less frequently than in English. Verb tables are always laid out in this order.
yo = I
tú = you (singular)
él/ella = he/she nosotros/as = we
vosotros/as = you (plural)
ellos/ellas = they
In addition to these pronouns, Spanish also has a polite, formal form ‘usted’ (you –
but used towards an older person) and ‘ustedes’ (you – formal – plural).
Usted verb endings are the same as those for he/she.
Ustedes verb endings are the same as those for they.
