Wizard’s Wisdom: Gender Matters

In Spanish, all nouns have a gender – they are either masculine or feminine. This affects the articles and adjectives used with them. For example, ‘el perro’ (the dog) is masculine, while ‘la gata’ (the cat) is feminine. Pay attention to the gender of animal names when using Spanish vocabulary!
