So, in Spanish, there are two ways to say "we": nosotros we (masculine or mixed group) nosotras we (feminine) Translations of I, you, he, she, it, we, you and they are many times omitted in Spanish because the action word shows who is performing the action.

Explicación - Tarea - Actividades Explicación: (leer en casa, antes de la clase) In English, words that represent things do not have gender. In Spanish, in contrast, words that represent things are always either masculine or feminine. The word "jardin" (garden), for example, is always masculine and the word "pelota" (ball) is always feminine. In Spanish, in most cases, it's very easy to know which word is masculine or feminine. Most words that represent things including concepts that end in o are masculine: car bank cars banks carro banco carros bancos it ends in -o it ends in -os Most words that represent things including concepts that end in a, in contrast, are feminine: office table offices tables oficina mesa oficinas mesas it ends in -a it ends in -as Words that represent people match the natural gender of the person. If it ends in o refers to a male individual or animal. If it ends in a refers to a female individual or animal. girl boy female dog dog = = = = niña niño perra perro Words that represent male people sometimes end in consonant. In this case you may add -a for the feminine equivalent. professor (female) professor judge (female) judge = = = = profesor profesora juez jueza Especial cases masculine words that end in -a the day el día 11:21:44 PM]
