1. The name of a person, place, or thing is a noun. In Spanish, every noun has a gender, either masculine or feminine. Many Spanish nouns end in either "O" or "A". Almost all nouns that end in O are masculine, and almost all nouns that end in A are feminine.
2. There are 2 types of articles. The English word "the" is called a DEFINITE article because it is used to refer to a definite or specific person or thing--the girl, the school.
The word a(an) is called an INDEFINITE article because it refers to any person or thing, not a specific one--a girl, a school
3. The definite articles in Spanish are "el" and "la". El is used with a masculine noun and LA is used with a feminine noun. The indefinite articles are "un" and "una". UN is used with a masculine noun and UNA is used with a feminine noun.
Definite Articles: el, la (the) Indefinite Articles: un, una (a, an)

el muchacho la muchacha un muchacho una muchacha
