Definite and Indefinite Articles:
A definite article is the word 'the' in English. In Spanish there are four ways of saying 'the'. El, la, los, las. This article depends on whether the noun is masculine, feminine, singular and/or plural. (Feminine articles: la and las. Masculine articles: el and los.)
Ex: the shirt=La camisa, the coat=El abrigo, the boots=Las botas, the shoes=los zapatos.
An indefinite article means 'a, an or some' in English. Un, una, unos, unas. These indefinite articles also depend on the noun.
(Feminine articles: una, unas. Masculine articles: Un, unos.)
Ex: a shirt=Una camisa, a coat=Un abrigo, some boots=Unas botas, some shoes=unos zapatos.
el, un- masculine singular
la, una- feminine singular
los, unos- masculine plural
las, unas - feminine plural
**The difference between these articles is when speaking of a definite article (the) we are speaking of something specific. It is not specific when using an indefinite article.
Ex: I really want the shirt. I really want a shirt.
Using 'the' indicates a specific shirt someone wants. Using 'a' does not specify a particular shirt. Any old shirt will do in this case. ;)
