• This PowerPoint will let you know the information that I expect to see on each card.
• REQUIRED: Each card should include the following:– Title– Topic # (that matches the Table of Contents)– Concise / most important information– Use of color/illustrations to highlight information
#20 Gender of Nouns• All nouns in Spn. are masculine
(M) or feminine (F) – this is called gender
• What is gender based on?• Only thing you can look at to
know the gender of a noun 100%...
• Look at ARTICLE first, noun ENDING second.
• MOST noun endings follow a pattern – we use the following acronyms to help us determine gender when we DON’T have an article.
• MOST nouns are masculine if they end in:
L, O, S, E, R, MA, N• MOST nouns are feminine
if they end in:D, IÓN, Z, A
• Some nouns don’t follow this pattern (the acronyms) – those are gender “exception” words
#21 Gender Exception Words• They are nouns that do NOT
follow the usual pattern endings (the acronyms) in order to determine gender.
• The ending is masculine or feminine but the article is OPPOSITE of what it should be.
• You have no choice but to memorize them!
*Only shortened version of word is opposite, regular word is normal.

#24 Me Gusta + Infinitive
• A recap from chapter 1A; we’re revisiting this because of “le gusta”
• When saying that we like to do something, we use an infinitive because we are NOT doing that activity, we’re just in the process of liking it.
• Remember: we only use infinitives when someone is not actually doing the action!
