Match definite articles with nouns

The idea

Learn the noun’s grammatical gender together with its article; endings are clues, not a universal rule.

Step by step
  1. Learn the noun’s grammatical gender together with its article; endings are clues, not a universal rule.
  2. Check whether the noun is singular or plural.
  3. Use el for masculine singular, la for feminine singular, los for masculine plural and las for feminine plural in these examples.

Example

Choose the definite article meaning “the”: ___ libro.

Answer

el

libro is masculine singular; the matching article is el: el libro.
