Normally, nouns that refer to men are masculine and nouns that refer to women are feminine. In English, since gender is not indicated in the articles, gender neutrality is becoming more common. In Spanish, there are sometimes different words to indicate gender, such as el hombre and la mujer.
Some masculine nouns (and adjectives) ending in o can be changed to feminine by changing o to a.

Words that do not have a written accent and end in any other consonant (except n or s) always stress the last syllable. The tilde breaks the rules discussed previously and allows words to be stressed on any syllable (last, second-to-last, third-to-last, etc.). When nouns and adjectives with tildes (and without) are used in the plural, they must still stress the same stem syllable.
Most of the time, this means transferring the tilde to the plural form.
Pronunciation Rules for Syllable Stress

Pay special attention to the stress of the stem syllable and if the tilde is transferred, lost or added to the plural form.

The use of the subject pronoun (él) in the answer is unnecessary because the subject in the question is already established.

We will continue to practice verbs by asking questions, but now we will ask them with interrogative (interrogative) words. Conjugations for regular -er and -ir verbs are very similar to regular -ar verb conjugations. In the following examples, notice that the verb in the question is often required in the answer, although the subject may often be different.
If there is a preposition in the question, the same preposition will usually appear in the answer.

Now we will learn the full present tense conjugation of estar, new adjectives that can be used with this verb, and how to tell where nouns are located. Estar is an -ar verb, but it's also irregular, so it doesn't conjugate exactly like hablar. The y at the end of the conjugation for yo and the written accents on the other forms change which syllable is stressed.

You will learn several verbs such as tener, so it is important to get a good foundation to help you learn other irregular verbs. In English, we use other verbs like "to be" for these ideas, so don't try to think of them as direct translations (word for word), rather focus on the meaning of what is being expressed. tener # años will be # years old. tener hambre to be hungry. tener sed to be thirsty. tener calor to be hot*. tener frío to be cold. tener sueño to be sleepy. tener razón if correct. tener miedo to be afraid. tener prisa to hurry. Tener can be combined with the infinitives of other verbs to express "feel like doing" and. tener ganas de hacer to feel like. tener que hacer to do.
Here are some you may have already learned. necessar hacer to have to do.

In this lesson we will learn about EQUAL and ULEQUAL comparisons of nouns and adjectives. Since this is so common in English, it often leads to grammatical errors in Spanish. With comparatives, there are two nouns and the adjective must agree with the first (subject of the verb).
An adjective must agree with the noun it modifies, not necessarily with the subject of the sentence.

When a strong vowel is connected to a weak vowel, the main stress will be on the stronger vowel. When two weak vowels are connected, the main stress will be on the last vowel. However, if the tilde is on a strong vowel (one that is stressed anyway), the diphthong does NOT break.
Words in Spanish that do not have a writing accent and end in a vowel, n or s, always stress the penultimate (penultimate) syllable.
