GramáticaLike in English, nouns refer to a person, place, thing, or idea. As we’ve mentioned before, nouns in Spanish have a gender. They are either masculine or feminine. For the most part, masculine
nouns end in “o” and feminine nouns end in “a.”

“El” and “la” are singular definite articles meaning “the.” They identify the gender of the noun. “El” is the singular masculine
article, “la” is the singular feminine article. If the noun is plural, “los” is the plural masculine definite article and “las” is the plural
feminine definite article.
The gender of nouns that end in “e” or a consonant must be memorized. There are also irregular nouns, that end in “o” but are
feminine and vice versa.

¡Ay, caramba!To express pain in Spanish, use the phrase “me duele (body part).” Literally, it means “it pains me.” When saying what pains you, you use the definite article — instead of saying “my leg” like we would in English, we say “the leg/la pierna.” However, if the body part is plural, like legs, shoulders, etc, we use the phrase
“me duelen.”
Me duele la cabeza.
My head hurts.
Me duelen los pies.
My feet hurt.
