Usually masculine words end up in vowel "o" and femine words may end in vowel "a" for example:

Amigo masc. ... El es mi amigo = He is my friend.

amiga fem. ... Ella es mi amiga = She is my friend.

Angela ... Ella es Angela

Angelo ... El es Angelo

fem. puerta, madera, silla

masc. cubo, susto, barro

and when you put the article el o la it tells you when should you look at.
