20. A noun is an object or a thing, which can usually be
preceded by ‘a’ or ‘the’ in English. E.g. Dog, Table,
Bottle. Bear in mind that in the language you are
studying, the word for ‘a’/’the’ depends on the gender.
You can recognise these in
a dictionary by the letter
‘n’...and in most
dictionaries a m / f (/n) will
tell you if its gender
Masculine – el / un
Feminine – la / una

21. An adjective is a word which describes a noun. E.g.
A short story, the friendly doctor, the wooden table.
Remember, in a foreign language, you may have to
change the endings depending on the gender of a
word.
You can recognise these in
a dictionary by the letters
‘adj’...
..un gato negro
mi hermana es alta
Las matemáticas
son interesantes

22. A verb is a doing or action word. E.g. do, went, will, to
eat. Verbs that are in the main section of the
dictionary are in the infinitive (in the form “to
drink”/”to sing”) so if you find a verb in the Foreign
Language, you will probably have to change the
verb using the endings you have learnt in class.
You can recognise these in
a dictionary by the letters
‘v’/ ‘vt’ / ‘vi’...
Most verbs in
Spanish end in er /
ir / ar
e.g. hablar, comer,
sentir

23. Dictionary Abbreviations
