Nouns come with their article
Every Spanish noun is masculine or feminine, and the word for "the" matches:
- el — masculine: el niño
- la — feminine: la niña
| the boy | el niño |
| the girl | la niña |
The verb "ser"
The singular pronouns are yo (I), tú (you), él (he) and ella (she). Use ser for lasting things — who someone is, and where they are from.
| Subject | Verb | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| yo | soy | I am |
| tú | eres | you are |
| él / ella | es | he / she is |
The ending already says who the subject is, so Spanish usually drops the pronoun.
| He is the boy. | Él es el niño. |
| She is the girl. | Ella es la niña. |
Jobs take no article
After ser, a profession goes bare — not yo soy el estudiante, which would mean "I am the student".
| I am a student. | Yo soy estudiante. |
| You are a doctor. | Tú eres doctor. |
Where you are from: de
| He is from Mexico. | Él es de México. |
| I am from Mexico. | Soy de México. |
