We’ve only covered one type of pronoun here, while there are still two more to learn. This is just how adjectives in Spanish work!Īs you’ll see in the next section, Spanish verbs are conjugated differently for each subject so it’s pretty clear who the subject is. ![]() īy the way-you may have noticed that the nationalities end in -a for female subjects and -o for male ones. This means it’s common to just say soy mexicano, somos egiptos, and son galeses. It’s very common to drop the pronoun entirely. But, this isn’t really the case in Spanish. In English, a subject pronoun is necessary before a verb basically every time. Let’s see some example sentences using pronouns. We use them so we don’t have to keep repeating the same words in sentences. Subject pronouns are words we use in place of names and nouns. In these cases, Spanish simply uses the masculine to refer to everyone collectively. Now, sometimes there are mixed groups with both males and females. So, we make a small change: la becomes las and el becomes los. But, in Spanish, the article must match the noun. In English, we use “the” whether there are one or many things. ![]() Plurals! Don’t worry, they’re really simple. If you want to say “ the child ,” you either say el niño if you’re talking about a boy or la niña if it’s a girl. In a few cases, the noun changes depending on the gender. įor example, in Spanish, a guitar is feminine, so it’s called la guitarra, but a bass guitar is masculine, so it’s el bajo. They have to match the noun, just like un and una. The same goes for definite articles el and la (“ the” in English). So, you say un hombre (a man), and una mujer (a woman), but you’d never say un mujer or una hombre.
