Los cuadernos
Las ventanas
La escritorio
El relojes
Los cuadernos - Correct
Las ventanas - Correct
La escritorio - Wrong
El relojes - Wrong
To determine if the articles go with the nouns provided, you need to match the gender and number of the articles with the nouns. Here is the breakdown:
1. Los cuadernos - Correct (masculine plural)
2. Las ventanas - Correct (feminine plural)
3. La escritorio - Wrong (the noun is feminine, but the article should be "el" for singular masculine)
4. El relojes - Wrong (the noun is masculine, but the article should be "los" for plural masculine)
So, two of the articles are correct while the other two are wrong.
To determine if the articles go with the nouns, you need to understand the gender and number agreement in Spanish. In Spanish, articles (such as "los", "las", "la", and "el") need to match the gender and number of the noun they are referring to.
Let's analyze each noun and article combination:
1. Los cuadernos - "Los" is a plural masculine article, and "cuadernos" is a plural masculine noun. They agree in both gender and number. Therefore, "Los cuadernos" is correct.
2. Las ventanas - "Las" is a plural feminine article, and "ventanas" is a plural feminine noun. They agree in both gender and number. Therefore, "Las ventanas" is correct.
3. La escritorio - "La" is a singular feminine article, but "escritorio" is a singular masculine noun. They do not agree in gender. Therefore, "La escritorio" is incorrect. The correct form should be "El escritorio."
4. El relojes - "El" is a singular masculine article, but "relojes" is a plural masculine noun. They do not agree in number. Therefore, "El relojes" is incorrect. The correct form should be "Los relojes."
Based on the analysis above, the correct combinations are:
- Los cuadernos
- Las ventanas
- El escritorio
- Los relojes
