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... ?
