Let's move on to some basic vocabulary and understanding the gender (masculine or feminine) and the number (singular or plural) of nouns. This is a concept that feels odd to us, but you will keep number and gender in mind when you use nouns and then when you describe them with adjectives!
We'll cover:
- gender of nouns and learn a basic noun vocabulary
- Spanish definite articles (the) and indefinite articles (a, an, some)
- the basics of adjectives and agreement
- Subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they) and subject - verb agreement (ugh! everyone hates this!)
- the two Spanish verbs for to be: ser and estar, and the difference between them (you'll love these!)
- two more really useful Spanish: ir (to go) and tener (to have, to be - yes, another way to express how you are!)
- an introduction to cognates (words in Spanish that are so similar to English you understand them - something easier)
