March 10, 2016
This is a short and pretty straightforward guide to form masculine and feminine words in Spanish
By following this rule (there are always exceptions in any language, main ones highlighted below) you'll be able to form most of the Spanish words in their right article. Once you've past the first barrier trauma of ''how easy it is in English we just type 'the' and we get away with it'', you'll find these tiny rules really handy and easy to follow!
