1) Correct! The definite article for the noun "maestra" is "el."
To determine the correct definite article for a noun, you need to consider the gender of the noun. In this case, "maestra" is a feminine noun, but it begins with a stressed "a" sound. Whenever a feminine noun begins with a stressed "a" sound, it uses the masculine definite article "el" to avoid the repetitive sound of "la a."
2) Correct! The definite article for the noun "clase" is "la."
"Clase" is a feminine noun, so it takes the feminine definite article "la."
3) Correct! The indefinite article for the noun "examenes" is "unos."
When determining the indefinite article for a noun, you need to consider whether the nouns are plural or singular and whether they are masculine or feminine. In this case, "examenes" is a masculine plural noun, so it takes the plural indefinite article "unos."
As for your other question:
Is "la mapa" definite article and noun agreement correct or incorrect?
Correct! "La mapa" is incorrect.
"Mapa" is a masculine noun, so it should take the masculine definite article "el" instead of the feminine definite article "la." The correct form would be "el mapa."
For the last question:
Correct plural form for "la nina"?
Correct! The plural form for "la nina" is "las ninas."
Since "nina" is a singular feminine noun, when it becomes plural, it changes to "ninas" and takes the plural feminine definite article "las."
