• 7 Worksheets for students to practice gender and articles:
Worksheet 1 is a basic gender identification worksheet, which is split into three sections:
-First, the students look at an ending and identify which gender nouns that end in those letters tend to be.
-Second, the students look at a word and determine its gender. The nouns in this section follow the rules of gender (o, ema, etc. are masculine, a, tad, ción, etc are feminine).
-Third, the students look at a word and determine its gender. The nouns in this section either break the rules of gender (día, mano, etc.) or don't have a rule to follow (mes, nube, etc.)
Worksheets 2-4 are basic worksheets for matching definite and indefinite articles to nouns, which vary in difficulty.
-The first worksheet is very basic - it only contains words that end in o, os, a, or as.
-The second worksheet is slightly harder - it incorporates words that end in ema, ama, or, ción, sión, tad, dad, and ora
-The third worksheet is the most challenging, including all the types of words from the first and second worksheet, plus adding in irregular nouns that don't follow gender rules.
Worksheet 5 asks students to fill in definite and indefinite article charts, and then they are asked to choose an article to match a given noun.
Worksheet 6 features a section of multiple-choice that asks students to select which option demonstrates the correct article agreement, a section for filling in the correct indefinite article given a sentence about a person in Spanish, and a section in which students must categorize 16 nouns according to their article.
Worksheet 7 begins with students filling in definite and indefinite article charts and concludes with a table that guides students through the thought process of choosing the correct article for a given noun by having them identify whether it is masculine or feminine and then if it is singular or plural.
