Definite Articles in Spanish

Definite articles are used to specify a particular noun, just like "the" in English. There are four forms of the definite article, and they change depending on the gender and number of the noun they refer to.

The Four Definite Articles

1. El – Used for singular, masculine nouns.

   • Example: el libro (the book)

2. La – Used for singular, feminine nouns.

   • Example: la mesa (the table)

3. Los – Used for plural, masculine nouns.

   • Example: los libros (the books)

4. Las – Used for plural, feminine nouns.

   • Example: las mesas (the tables)
