Grammar

Definite articles are used to specify a specific noun, and they come before the noun they modify.
```
El - for masculine singular nouns
La - for feminine singular nouns
Los - for masculine plural nouns
Las - for feminine plural nouns
```

Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. In Spanish, nouns have two genders: masculine or feminine.
```
Masculine nouns typically end in -o, -ete, or -ón
Feminine nouns typically end in -a, -e, or -ón
```

Adjectives describe nouns and usually come after the noun they modify. They must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify.
```
El libro rojo - the red book
La casa grande - the big house
```

Questions

Questions are formed by inverting the word order of the sentence and adding a question mark.
```
¿Dónde está la escuela? - Where is the school?
```

Yes/no questions are formed by adding an interrogative word (such as ¿Qué? - what or ¿Quién? - who) to the beginning of the sentence.
```
¿Qué libro es este? - What book is this?
```
