What is unique about Spanish is that not only is there feminine or masculine people, other nouns have genders as well. ends with -o → feminine  ends with -a → masculine ends with -e → both When making a noun plural, add -s if it already ends with a vowel. If it ends with a consonant, add -es.

EXAMPLES:

los libros

la fruita

el ajedrez**doesn't end in -a, -o, and -e

las hamburguesas 

los animales

To say you like something add the verb gustar (like) and a definite article before the noun. To talk about a noun as a definite article and the noun. gusta → singular gustan→ plural  EXAMPLES: Me gustan las verduas.          I like vegetables. No me gusta la pasta.           I don't like pasta.

You must have the articles in sentences even when the word "the" isn't used.EXAMPLES:   El helado es delicioso.                Ice cream is delicious. Los animales son interesante.      Animals are interesting.
