Spanish words for persons, places, and things (nouns) are classified as masculine or feminine. '''''El''''' (the masculine form of '''''the''''') is used with masculine words. '''''La''''' (the feminine form of '''''the''''') is used with feminine words. Masculine words generally end in '''''o, r, l,''''' and '''''ma'''''. Feminine words generally end in '''''a, ión, tad, dad, tud,''''' and '''''umbre'''''. Nouns which end in '''''or''''' are masculine; an '''''a''''' is added to indicate the feminine version.
