Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Spanish 1 - Gender and Definite & Indefinite Articles - Worksheets and Notes
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "PRACTICE: Definite and Indefinite Articles" that includes three sections focused on Spanish grammar, specifically the use of definite and indefinite articles. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this based on the text you’ve provided. Let’s go through each section step by step.

---

SECTION 1: Circle the correct answer



This section tests your knowledge of definite and indefinite articles in Spanish.

Let’s go through each question:

#### 1) un(a) traductor
- A) una traductora
- B) uno traductor
- C) los profesores
- D) las profesoras

Correct answer: A) una traductora
→ "Traductor" is masculine, but the article "un(a)" suggests we need to match gender. The correct form for a female translator is una traductora.

Wait — actually, the question says “un(a) traductor” — so it's asking which option matches the correct article and noun form. But "traductor" is masculine, so "un traductor" would be correct. However, none of the options are "un traductor".

Looking again:
- A) una traductora → feminine
- B) uno traductor → incorrect (no such thing as "uno traductor")
- C) los profesores → plural, not matching
- D) las profesoras → plural

But "un(a) traductor" is the clue — so the correct choice should be either un traductor or una traductora, depending on gender. Since "un(a)" is given, likely the correct answer is A) una traductora if referring to a female.

But let’s assume the question is asking: Which is the correct form?

Actually, perhaps the instruction is: “Circle the correct answer” from the list, and “un(a) traductor” is the prompt? That doesn’t make sense.

Wait — looking at the format:

> 1) un(a) traductor
> A) una traductora
> B) uno traductor
> C) los profesores
> D) las profesoras

So the prompt is “un(a) traductor”, and we’re to choose the correct form.

- “un traductor” = male translator
- “una traductora” = female translator
- “uno traductor” is grammatically incorrect (we don’t say “uno traductor”)

So the best match is A) una traductora, assuming we're choosing the correct form with the correct article.

But “una traductora” ≠ “un(a) traductor” — they’re different genders.

Possibly a typo or misformatting.

Alternatively, maybe the prompt is just listing the word, and we must pick the correct article form.

Wait — perhaps the questions are asking: What is the correct article + noun?

But the way it's written: “1) un(a) traductor” might be the stem, and then choices are possible forms.

But none of the options are “un traductor”.

Only A) is grammatically correct: una traductora.

But that’s not “un(a) traductor” — it’s “una traductora”.

Maybe the question is: Which one uses the correct article?

Then A) is correct.

But let’s move on — perhaps there’s a better interpretation.

Alternatively, maybe the prompt is just the noun, and we need to pick the correct article form.

Let’s assume the question is: Choose the correct article + noun form for “traductor”.

Then:

- A) una traductora → correct for female
- B) uno traductor → incorrect
- C) los profesores → unrelated
- D) las profesoras → unrelated

So A) is the only grammatically correct form listed — even though it's feminine.

But “traductor” is masculine. So unless the context is female, it should be “un traductor”.

But “un traductor” isn’t an option.

So perhaps the question is miswritten.

Wait — maybe the prompt is just “traductor”, and the options are possible forms.

But still, no “un traductor”.

Perhaps the intended answer is A) una traductora — but that’s incorrect if we’re talking about a male.

Unless the test is testing gender agreement.

Alternatively, maybe the question is: Which one is correct?

Then A) is correct (grammatically), B) is wrong.

So likely, A) is the intended answer.

But this seems flawed.

Let’s skip ahead and come back.

---

#### 2) una populación
- A) la población
- B) las poblaciones
- C) el pueblo
- D) los pueblos

We are given “una populación” — indefinite singular.

The question is: Which of these is correct?

But all options are definite.

“La población” = the population (singular definite)

“Las poblaciones” = the populations (plural)

“El pueblo” = the town (masculine)

“Los pueblos” = the towns

So none match “una población” exactly.

But “una población” means “a population”.

So the correct definite form would be A) la población.

But the question is “Circle the correct answer” — probably meaning which one is the correct definite article form.

So if the prompt is “una población”, and we’re to choose the definite form, then A) la población is correct.

So A) la población

---

#### 3) el alcohol
- A) el vino
- B) la cerveza
- C) los refrescos
- D) la cologne

“El alcohol” is masculine singular.

Which of these is also masculine singular?

- A) el vino → masculine singular → correct
- B) la cerveza → feminine →
- C) los refrescos → plural →
- D) la cologne → feminine →

So A) el vino

---

#### 4) la sister
- A) la hermana
- B) el hermano
- C) los hermanos
- D) las hermanas

“La sister” is not Spanish — it's English.

Probably meant to be “sister” → “hermana”

“La sister” implies feminine singular.

So correct form: A) la hermana

A) la hermana

---

#### 5) unas vacaciones
- A) las vacaciones
- B) los vacaciones
- C) unas vacaciones
- D) una vacaciones

“Unas vacaciones” = some vacations

Now check options:

- A) las vacaciones → the vacations → definite → could be correct
- B) los vacaciones → incorrect (vacaciones is feminine)
- C) unas vacaciones → same as prompt → correct
- D) una vacaciones → incorrect (should be “unas”)

But the prompt is “unas vacaciones”, so the correct answer is C) unas vacaciones

But that’s the same as the prompt — so probably the question is: Which is the correct form?

Then C) unas vacaciones

But wait — the options include “las vacaciones” — which is also correct, but definite.

But since the prompt is indefinite (“unas”), the matching form is C)

So C) unas vacaciones

---

#### 6) la cifra
- A) las ciudades
- B) los ciudades
- C) la ciudad
- D) el ciudad

“La cifra” = the figure/number

Options:

- A) las ciudades → cities (plural)
- B) los ciudades → incorrect (ciudades is feminine)
- C) la ciudad → the city → correct form
- D) el ciudad → incorrect

But “la cifra” is not “la ciudad”.

So none match.

Wait — maybe the question is: Which one is correct?

Then C) la ciudad is correct.

But “la cifra” vs “la ciudad” — different words.

So perhaps the prompt is “cifra”, and we need to pick the correct definite form.

“La cifra” → correct definite form is la cifra, but it’s not in options.

Options are:

- A) las ciudades
- B) los ciudades → invalid
- C) la ciudad → valid
- D) el ciudad → invalid

So C) la ciudad is the only correct form among them.

But it’s not “la cifra”.

So likely, the prompt is “cifra”, and we’re to pick the correct article + noun.

But “la cifra” is not listed.

Unless it’s a typo — maybe it should be “ciudad”.

Assuming it’s “ciudad”, then C) la ciudad is correct.

Or if it’s “cifra”, then none are correct.

But since “la cifra” is given, and “la ciudad” is an option, perhaps it’s a mix-up.

Alternatively, maybe the question is: Which of these is a correct definite article phrase?

Then C) la ciudad is correct.

So C) la ciudad

---

#### 7) a map
- A) una mapa
- B) un mapa
- C) las mapa
- D) los mapas

“a map” → indefinite singular

In Spanish: un mapa (masculine)

- A) una mapa → incorrect (feminine article with masculine noun)
- B) un mapa → correct
- C) las mapa → incorrect (plural article with singular)
- D) los mapas → plural

So B) un mapa

---

#### 8) the cities
- A) las ciudades
- B) los ciudades
- C) la ciudades
- D) el ciudades

“the cities” = las ciudades

- A) las ciudades → correct
- B) los ciudades → incorrect (ciudades is feminine)
- C) la ciudades → incorrect (article doesn’t match number)
- D) el ciudades → incorrect

So A) las ciudades

---

#### 9) a drama
- A) un drama
- B) una drama
- C) los drama
- D) las drama

“a drama” → indefinite singular

“drama” is masculine → un drama

- A) un drama → correct
- B) una drama → incorrect (feminine article)
- C) los drama → incorrect (plural article with singular)
- D) las drama → incorrect

So A) un drama

---

SECTION 2: Fill in the blank with either un or una



These are sentences where you need to choose between un (masculine) or una (feminine).

Let’s go one by one:

#### 10) Socorro es _______ persona feliz y simpática.

“Persona” is feminine → una

una

#### 11) Raúl es _______ estudiante muy serio y gentil.

“Estudiante” is masculine (Raúl is male) → un

un

#### 12) Siéntate en _______ silla.

“Silla” is feminine → una

una

#### 13) Señor Ramírez es _______ doctor bueno.

“Doctor” is masculine → un

un

#### 14) Paola es _______ mujer rubia y francesa.

“Mujer” is feminine → una

una

#### 15) Sarita es _______ profesora de _______ universidad en Chile.

“Profesora” is feminine → una

“Universidad” is feminine → una

So: una profesora de una universidad

una, una

---

SECTION 3: Place each noun below in the correct box to the right



We have a list of nouns, and two columns:

- del / de la / del / de los → probably means: de + el = del, de + la = de la, etc.
- But the boxes are labeled:
- del / de la / del / de los → wait, that seems redundant.

Looking at the layout:

It says:

> del / de la / del / de los
> de la / del / de las / de los

So likely, the first column is for nouns that go with del, de la, del, de los — but that’s confusing.

Actually, it’s probably:

Two boxes:

- del / de la / del / de los → this is a mistake; likely meant to be del, de la, de los, de las

And the second box is: de la / del / de las / de los

Wait — no, it says:

> Box 1: del / de la / del / de los
> Box 2: de la / del / de las / de los

That’s not helpful.

More likely, the intention is to classify nouns by gender and number so they can be used with the correct prepositional phrase.

But the instruction is: Place each noun below in the correct box to the right.

And the boxes are:

- del / de la / del / de los → probably a typo
- de la / del / de las / de los

Wait — perhaps it's:

Box 1: Nouns that take del or de la
Box 2: Nouns that take de las or de los

But the labels are messy.

Alternatively, it's likely that the two boxes are:

- Masculine singular: del, de la (wait — no)

Standard rules:

- de + eldel
- de + lade la
- de + losde los
- de + lasde las

So we need to classify each noun by gender and number.

List of nouns:

1. lápiz → masculine singular → del
2. música → feminine singular → de la
3. mapa → masculine singular → del
4. pago → masculine singular → del
5. hospital → masculine singular → del
6. profesor → masculine singular → del
7. alcohol → masculine singular → del
8. policía → masculine singular → del
9. nación → feminine singular → de la
10. jardín → masculine singular → del
11. colegio → masculine singular → del
12. nombre → masculine singular → del
13. canción → feminine singular → de la
14. ciudad → feminine singular → de la
15. clima → masculine singular → del
16. casa → feminine singular → de la
17. calle → feminine singular → de la
18. estudiante → masculine singular → del
19. comida → feminine singular → de la
20. hombre → masculine singular → del

Now group them:

- Masculine singular → use del → goes to del column
- Feminine singular → use de la → goes to de la column
- Plural → not present here

But all nouns listed are singular.

So:

del:
- lápiz
- mapa
- pago
- hospital
- profesor
- alcohol
- policía
- jardín
- colegio
- nombre
- clima
- estudiante
- hombre

de la:
- música
- nación
- canción
- ciudad
- casa
- calle
- comida

But the boxes are labeled oddly.

Possibly:

- Box 1: del / de la / del / de los → maybe it's meant to be del and de la
- Box 2: de la / del / de las / de los → maybe de las and de los

But since all nouns are singular, only del and de la are needed.

So likely:

- Box 1: del → masculine singular nouns
- Box 2: de la → feminine singular nouns

So final classification:

del (masculine singular):
- lápiz
- mapa
- pago
- hospital
- profesor
- alcohol
- policía
- jardín
- colegio
- nombre
- clima
- estudiante
- hombre

de la (feminine singular):
- música
- nación
- canción
- ciudad
- casa
- calle
- comida

Note: "pago" is masculine (payment), "nación" is feminine, etc.
