Lee atentamente antes de hacer los ejercicios! Read carefully before doing the exercise below!
Articles accompany nouns and indicate gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural). In Spanish grammar, there are indefinite articles (un, una, unos, unas - in English "a", "an") and definite articles (el/los, la/las, lo - in English "the").

Definite articles (the):
The masculine definite articles are el (singular) and los (plural).
The feminine definite articles are la (singular) and las (plural).

Indefinite articles (a, an):
The masculine indefinite articles are un (singular) unos (plural).
The feminine indefinite articles are una (singular) and unas (plural).

NB! Usually the words ending with -o or -e are masculine and the words ending with -a are feminine.

Exeptions:
The word "mother" is a feminine word, "la madre", just like the word "woman" is a feminine word "la mujer".
The words that end with -ión are feminine words (una estación - a season, una región - a region).
The word "ciudad" is a feminine word "una ciudad" (a city).
Haz los ejercicios 4 y 5. Do the exercises 4 and 5 and write the correct answer in the gap next to it (el, la, los, las, un, una, unos, unas).
