 What is a Noun?
A noun is a word that identifies a person, place or thing,
or names one of them.

Here are some examples:

•person: man, woman, teacher, John, Mary

•place: home, office, town, countryside,Hong Kong

•thing: table, car, banana, money, music, love, dog,

monkey

Nouns are one of the most important parts of speech

 What is an adjective?

Simply put, an adjective describes or modifies a

noun.
It provides further information about a noun,
indicating things like size, shape, color, and more.

Often, in Spanish they appear directly after a noun

in a sentence.
 Articles
In Spanish, nouns don't like to be alone, so they are often
accompanied by articles!
Spanish articles indicate the gender (masculine or
feminine) and number (singular or plural) of a noun, as well
as whether or not a noun is a specific noun (definite or
indefinite).

There are four definite articles in Spanish, and they often all
translate to the same little word in English: the.
A definite article always has to match both the gender and
number of its noun.
If the noun is feminine and singular (like mesa), then the
article also has to be feminine and singular (la mesa)
If that same noun is plural (like mesas), then the article is
also plural (las mesas)
Exceptions
When a feminine singular noun begins with a
stressed a or ha sound, the masculine definite
article is used instead of the feminine definite
article.
