Spanish Beginner Nouns Vocabulary Exercise 2

Objects, family and pets — el celular (mobile phone — el móvil in Spain), el libro, el baño, la casa, la tía, el perro, la bicicleta, el plato, el vaso, la almohada. Family nouns come in pairs: la tía (aunt) pairs with el tío (uncle). Animals often follow the same pattern.

Spotting gender from word endings — Nouns ending in -a are usually feminine (la casa, la tía, la bicicleta); those ending in -o are usually masculine (el libro, el perro, el plato). But there are real exceptions: el día (day) is masculine, la mano (hand) is feminine. When unsure, look it up with the article.

Quick everyday sentences — ¿Dónde está mi celular? (Where's my phone?). El perro duerme en la almohada (The dog sleeps on the pillow). Hay un libro en el baño (There's a book in the bathroom). ¿Me pasas el vaso? (Can you pass me the glass?). Start building sentences from day one.
