When do you use the articles "la" or "el"?
Think of "la" and "el" as "the" in English.
(As you get deeper into learning Spanish, you will get rid of that idea.)
When a noun ends in an "a" as in "lima",
use the "la" article. "la lima - the lime".
When a noun ends in an "o" as in "dormitorio",
use the "el" article."el dormitorio - the bedroom".
There are nouns that don't follow the rules, and
a noun will end in an "o" or an "a", but use the opposite article.
for ie. "la radio" "el programa"
When you come across these kinds of nouns, just accept it!
These next nouns do not end in an "a" or an "o",
"el coche" - the car "la televisión" - the television
so you must memorize the article for these kinds of nouns
and accept it!
You will remember which article is used with each noun as you see them throughout the program.
Just remember that if the noun ends in an "o" use the article "el".
If the noun ends in an "a" use the article "la".
When you see a noun that ends in an "o" and the article is "la", Accept it!
When you see a noun that ends in an "a" and the article is "el", Accept it!
Just know that it's not normal to see nouns that end in "a" and have an "el" article and
it's not normal to see nouns that end in "o" and have a "la" article.
BUT you will see it with some words. Just accept it!
If a noun uses a "la" article, then it will use an "una" article.
If a noun uses an "el" article, then the noun will use an "un" article.
When do you use the articles "una" or "un"?Think of "una" and "un" as "a" in English.
(As you get deeper into learning Spanish, you will get rid of that idea.)
When a noun ends in an "a" as in "lima",
use the "una" article. "una lima - a lime".
When a noun ends in an "o" as in "dormitorio",
use the "un" article. "un dormitorio - a bedroom".
