You sound pretty upset and I'm sorry. It's impossible to give you a rule to know when an object is feminine or masculine. There's no one. You'll just have to memorize them. The way to do it is to learn the nouns along with their article: la silla, el lápiz.
Remember "ser" is a verb.
1, Ser/ to be is used to describe essential or inherent characteristics or qualities:
Basic aspects: color, shape, material of which something is made out of, size, physical characteristics, and personality.
* La nieve es blanca./ The snow is white.
* La tierra es redonda./ The earth is round.
* El saco es de lana./ The jacket is wool.
* Yo soy alta./ I am tall.
* Mi socio es extrovertido./ My partner is outgoing.
2. Possession.
* El auto es mío./ The car is mine.
3. Relationship.
* Ella es mi prima./ She is my cousin.
4. Profession.
* Son cirujanos plásticos./ They are plastic surgeons.
5. Nationality.
* Soy argentina./ I am Argentine.
6. Origin.
* El interventor es de La Paz./ The auditor is from La Paz.
7. Ser/ to be is used to indicate marital status.
* Ella es divorciada./ She is divorced.
8. Expressions of time and dates.
* Es la una./ It's one o'clock.
* Hoy es jueves./ Today is Thursday.
9. Events taking place.
* La fiesta es esta noche./ The party is tonight.
10. Passive voice.
* La casa fue incendiada./ The house (was) burned down.
11. Impersonal expressions.
* Es imposible hablar con ellos./ It's impossible talking to them.
12. Noun and adjective complement (A complement completes the sentence by describing or defining the subject).
* Mi suegra es una abuela maravillosa./ My mother-in-law is a wonderful grandma.

I think you're hoping to get an awful lot of information - perhaps two terms' work - in a speedy Y!A reply, which is very unlikely.

everybody is authentic, it in basic terms ability "write in spanish". the way i undergo in ideas is escribe (a variety of the verb escribir, meaning "to write down") feels like "inscribe" that is an english observe meaning "to write down," sounds an analogous, i think of. and in case you studied social learn, undergo in ideas that a "Scribe" became a individual who did solid writing. en is obviously "in" and español is obviously spanish
