135
Q

e.g., 1 nino + 4 ninas = 5 ninos
3 gatos + 3 gatas = 6 gatos

153
Q

T/F: Nouns that end in consonants have masculine and feminine verions.

A

TRUE: masculine nouns that end in consonants have a corresponding feminine form that ends in “a”. e.g. El professor = la profesora; el doctor = la doctora; el senor = la senora

154
Q

T/F: Some nouns are BOTH masculine and feminine despite their ending.

A

TRUE: some nouns that refer to professions do not change their forms (e.g., el taxista/la taxista–the taxi driver). This does not mean the importance of gender disappears. If the word does not change, the article is what tells you the gender.
