Definite articles MUST agree with number and gender of the noun.

If the noun is:

Singular and masculine, use el.

Singular and feminine, use la.

Plural and masculine, use los.

Plural and feminine, use las.

What is article agreement?

In English, we have only one definite article, the word "the." The two indefinite articles are "a" and "an," and we choose simply according to the sound of the following word. In many languages, there are more forms of definite and indefinite articles, and the right form in a particular sentence might depend on the number (singular or plural) and the gender (masculine or feminine) of the noun they modify. For example, definite in Spanish: "El"--singular masculine; "La"--singular feminine; "Los"--plural masculine; "Las"--plural feminine. Similarly, Spanish indefinite articles are "un," "una," "unos," and "unas.) German is even more complicated, because they have to agree also in case--whether the noun is a subject, object, or possessive.

What are definite artilces in spanish?

Spanish has four definite articles: el, la, los, and las. Do not confuse el (the article) with él (which means he).Articles must agree with the word they define in number and gender. Los and las are used for plural words. La and las are used for feminine words.Generally speaking definite articles are used when the person knows (or should know) which thing you are talking about. For example you would say "el presidente de México" because the person should know who you mean, considering that there is only one president of Mexico. It can also be used to refer to something you previously mentioned. For example you might say "I saw a man and a boy. The boy (el niño) was crying." We know which boy because we just mentioned him.English speakers of Spanish normally err in using the definite articles in the following situations:Speaking generally. In Spanish we say "La vida es corta" literally The life is short whereas in English the word "The" is omitted.When referring to last or next week (or month/year). In Spanish we say "la semana pasada" (literally the last week).With names of streets. In Spanish these are always prefaced with the word "la"With percentages. In Spanish we ask: ¿El 20 por ciento de 20 es... ? Literally the 20 percent of 20 is... ?

What does dos cosa que hizo en su vida mean?

For it to be correct Spanish, this sentence fragment needs to say, "...dos cosas que hizo en su vida. " Nouns and verbs have to agree in number and gender in Spanish. It means, "...two things that you/he/she did in your/his/her life." Without a definite context, the pronouns are equally interchangeable. So, it could just as easily be "...two things that he did in her life." as "...two things you did in his life." etc.
