How do I know when a noun is masculine or feminine?

Do I go off the last letter of the noun? Like planta and idea end in 'a' so I use una, but if it ends in an 'o' or any other letter besides 'a' then I say un.

Leaving aside the issue of what you call this tense, I had trouble because I thought that the "perfect" tenses corresponded more closely with English in the sense of use of the auxiliary verb. It seems that most of the examples given show English translations with the auxiliary verb, but not all of them. So what is the difference between "No le dije" and "No le he dicho"? It would seem that the first translates to "I didn't tell him" and the second to "I haven't told him." But the examples seem to conflate the two.

three times the same example

Why is it "El cartero pasa todos los días a las tres de la tarde" instead of ""El cartero pasa todos los días a las tres por la tarde"? I thought we learned that it should be en, a, or por to express a specific time of the day? 

Would 2001 years be los dos miles y uno año or would mil still be singular.

Is it my imagination, or is the speaker saying "yo soy debajo" instead of "yo soy bajo"? 

Hola,

re: the following sentences:

Kwizbot   no solo en España sino también en el extranjero.
You           no solamente en España pero también en el extranjero.

I was wondering if you could explain why solamente is not an acceptable choice. Thanks for your help 

Nicole

Esta correcto? En la siguiente oracion, pero en vez de sino esta usado. Creo que despues de negativo  sino debe haber usado no?
