2. All Spanish nouns have a grammatical gender (masculine/feminine), so this is false.
3. Spanish nouns can be compound (e.g., el lavavajillas = the dishwasher, two words combined), so this is true.
4. el and la are singular definite articles; plural articles are los and las, so this is false.
5. Cognates are words across languages that share form and meaning (e.g., información = information), so this is true.
