Definite and Indefinite Articles in Spanish worksheet | Live ... - Free Printable

Explanation:
Let’s solve each part step by step.

Part 1: Indefinite Articles (un, una, unos, unas)
We need to choose the correct indefinite article based on:
- Gender (masculine/feminine)
- Number (singular/plural)

Recall:
- un → masculine singular
- una → feminine singular
- unos → masculine plural
- unas → feminine plural

Now go one by one:

1. persona → feminine singular → una persona
2. libro → masculine singular → un libro
3. mochila → feminine singular → una mochila
4. hombre → masculine singular → un hombre
5. mujeres → feminine plural → unas mujeres
6. chicos → masculine plural → unos chicos
7. amigas → feminine plural → unas amigas
8. años → masculine plural (año → años) → unos años
9. día lindo → “día” is masculine singular; “lindo” agrees but doesn’t change article → un día lindo

✔ Check: all match gender & number.

Part 2: Definite vs Indefinite Articles
We’re matching English phrases to Spanish with correct article (el/la/los/las or un/una/unos/unas), based on clues like:
- “the” → definite article (el/la/los/las)
- “a” or “some” → indefinite article (un/una/unos/unas)
Also note: adjectives must agree in gender/number.

1. *the white milk* → milk = leche (fem. sing.), “the” → la leche blanca
2. *some handsome dogs* → dogs = perros (masc. pl.), “some” → unos perros guapos
3. *the patient kids* → kids = niñas (assuming girls, since “niñas” used), “the” → las niñas pacientes
Wait — the Spanish side says *niñas pacientes*, so yes, feminine plural → las
4. *a funny teacher* → teacher = profesor (masc. sing.) or profesora (fem.), but Spanish says *profesor cómico* → masc. → un profesor cómico
5. *the big book* → book = libro (masc. sing.), “the” → el libro grande
6. *some delicious pancakes* → pancakes = panqueques (masc. pl. in Spanish), “some” → unos panqueques deliciosos
7. *the nice students* → students = estudiantes (can be masc. or fem., but here *estudiantes simpáticos* uses masc. plural → likely mixed/generic masculine) → los estudiantes simpáticos
However, Spanish says *estudiantes simpáticos* (masc. pl.), so article = los
8. *an interesting movie* → movie = película (fem. sing.), “an” → una película interesante

Let’s double-check each:

1. la leche blanca ✔
2. unos perros guapos ✔
3. las niñas pacientes ✔
4. un profesor cómico ✔
5. el libro grande ✔
6. unos panqueques deliciosos ✔
7. los estudiantes simpáticos ✔
8. una película interesante ✔

Part 3: Fill in the blanks (note where NO is placed)

1. *You are a studious student.*
→ Spanish: Tú eres un estudiante estudioso.
But the blank is:
Tú ___ ___ _______________ estudioso.
That’s 3 blanks: likely eres, un, and then the noun (but “estudiante” is missing? Wait — look again.)

The sentence given:
“Tú ______ ______ ________________ estudioso.”
And the English is: *You are a studious student.*

So structure:
Tú + [verb] + [article] + [noun] + [adjective]
→ Tú eres un estudiante estudioso.
But there are only 3 blanks before “estudioso”, and “estudiante” is not written — so the third blank must be estudiante.

So:
Tú eres un estudiante estudioso.

2. *We are not ugly girls.*
Spanish: Nosotros no somos unas chicas feas.
But the blank format:
_______ no _______ unas chicas __________.
That’s 3 blanks: subject, verb, adjective.

Subject: Nosotras (if all girls) or Nosotros (mixed/general). Since it says “girls”, better use Nosotras.
Verb: somos
Adjective: feas (fem. pl. to match *chicas*)

So: Nosotras no somos unas chicas feas.

But check agreement:
chicas (fem. pl.) → feas ✔
Yes.

Some might write *No somos unas chicas feas* without subject (implied), but the blank has first slot for subject, so include it.

Final check:
- Blank 1: Nosotras
- Blank 2: somos
- Blank 3: feas

✔ All good.

Now compile all answers clearly.
