To determine the correct definite article (el, la, los, las) for each noun (computadoras, libro, relojes, mesa), you need to consider the gender and number of the noun.
1. computadoras (computers): Since "computadoras" is a feminine noun in its plural form, you would use the definite article "las." Therefore, it would be "las computadoras."
2. libro (book): "Libro" is a masculine noun in its singular form. So, you would use the definite article "el." Therefore, it would be "el libro."
3. relojes (watches): "Relojes" is a masculine noun in its plural form, so the correct definite article would be "los." Therefore, it would be "los relojes."
4. mesa (table): "Mesa" is a feminine noun in its singular form, so the correct definite article would be "la." Therefore, it would be "la mesa."
To summarize:
- computadoras (feminine plural): las computadoras
- libro (masculine singular): el libro
- relojes (masculine plural): los relojes
- mesa (feminine singular): la mesa
