Common misconception
Grammatical gender is the same as biological gender. If a word is feminine we think of it as a girl if it is masculine we think of it as a boy.
Grammatical gender is not the same as biological gender. Spelling clues help to identify Spanish grammatical gender: nouns ending in -o are usually masculine, nouns ending in -a are usually feminine.
