Spanish Language Articles

Definite Articles (el, la, los, las)

Exclude articles as first words in certain titles when referring to general items or concepts, as different from individualized ones. The purpose of definite articles is to indicate specifically identifiable things.

NOTE: Write website titles without definite articles so the site’s search will return the desired results.

• [Las] Neoplasias de células plasmáticas
• La enfermedad del General San Martín
• El descubrimiento del átomo

Indefinite Articles (un, una, unos, unas)

Avoid unnecessary translations of the indefinite article:

• How can I become a US. Citizen?
• ¿Cómo puedo hacerme ciudadano estadounidense?

Incorrect Use: La informática, una rama de las telecomunicaciones.
