Explanation:

In this activity we have to complete the paragraph using the appropriate definite or indefinite articles. In Spanish, nouns are often accompanied by an article, which indicates the gender (masculine or feminine) and quantity (singular or plural) of a noun, and whether or not it is a specific noun (definite or indefinite).

Definite articles are used to talk about specific nouns. There are 4 definite articles in Spanish, which are:

El - Masculine, singular

La - Feminine, singular

Los - Masculine, plural

Las - Feminine, plural

Indefinite articles are used mainly when not referring to specific things or people, but when generalizing; also to say there is exactly one of something (un, una); to describe a person using a noun, or to describe an approximate amount of something. The indefinite articles in Spanish are:

Un - Masculine, singular

Una - Feminine, singular

Unos - Masculine, plural

Unas - Feminine, plural

1. Hay UNAS escuelas (In this case we are generalizing, as we don´t know the exact number, and the noun is feminine and plural)

2. LOS utiles (we are talking about a specific noun, and the noun is masculine and plural)

3. LAS computadoras (we are talking about a specific noun, and the noun is feminine and plural)

4. LAS calculadoras  (we are talking about a specific noun, and the noun is feminine and plural)

5. Hay UNAS organizaciones (In this case we are generalizing, as we don´t know the exact number, the noun is feminine and plural)

6. Donan materiales escolares a LAS escuelas (we are talking about a specific noun, and the noun is feminine and plural)

7. LOS bolígrafos (we are talking about a specific noun, and the noun is masculine and plural)

8. LOS lápices (we are talking about a specific noun, and the noun is masculine and plural)

9. LOS cuadernos (we are talking about a specific noun, and the noun is masculine and plural)
