Spanish indefinite articles refer to one individual out of a general group and they often correspond to English a / an (singular form), some / a few (plural form). Like definite articles, they give information about the gender (femenine, masculine) and the number (singular, plural) of the noun and they have four forms:
Masculine | Femenine | |
---|---|---|
Singular | un | una |
Plural | unos | unas |
Examples:
Like English, the Spanish indefinite article is used in the following cases:
Take online language lessons with a professional teacher
Un cuadro es una obra de arte. (A painting is a work of art.)
Gracias, eres un sol. (Thanks, you are a sweetie.)
Quiero una galleta. (I want a biscuit.)
Necesito unos calabacines. (I need some courgettes.)
The indefinite article has to be omitted in the following cases:
¿Pones zanahorias en la tarta? (Do you put any carrot in the cake?)
If the noun is modified by an adjective, the indefinite article cannot be omitted.
Example:
Javier es un profesor muy competente. (Javier is a very competent professor.)
The indefinite article is omitted after verbs such as:
when the noun refers to a person or thing one commonly have.

Hi! My name is Andrea and I am Italian. During the last years I have been living in Spain too, which is for me my second homecountry.
I have been studying languages at university and since I love teaching the languages I speak, I offer you a great language course of Spanish or Italian.
I can assure you great results since I use methods that work with everyone and make you realize how quick can you be when you want to learn a new language, at any level!
Also, since I have been studying many languages, it helps me to understand how to teach correctly a language to a person who doesn't have it as native language.
For me, languages are much more than just a way to communicate with someone else. Also, I think that my passion in this field helps me to transmit to the students the desire to keep studying and learning amazing languages like these.
Contact me and let's have a trial lesson! It's free! :)

I teach the language in a playful, thorough, and effective manner; for these purposes I use books, digital applications, short films and audio recordings.
It would be a pleasure to help you reach the goals of your expectations.

Hello,
My name is Amina, I’m Mexican, and I have almost 3 decades of experience teaching Spanish, which is my mother language. Regarding studies, I have a major as a Chemist Biologist, a Master in Cytopathology, a doctorate in Education, an FCE certification in English, level B2.
I’ve taught oral and written communication in Spanish to Engineering students, focused on aspects such as formal writing, correct spelling, oral presentations, job interviews and professional skills in general.
So, if you are an English speaker, interested in basic, intermediate or advanced Spanish practice, rest assured that I will be a good choice for you, with a variety of different subjects, whether professional or entertainment-related, depending on your interests.
On the other hand, if you are a native Spanish speaker like me, and you want to increase your practice in the professional use of this language, writing, spelling or oral expression, I am also ready to help you.
I'm looking forward to meeting you and chat about your goals in Spanish.

Top-notch teacher! Highly recommended! Very professional, easy-going and patient, especially for beginners like me! :D There are a lot of interesting content within his teaching material interweaving with the grammar, which makes the lesson very entertaining and helps acquire the knowledge about language easier. In one hour with Diego you can get an excellent learning experience but also a decent package of information about the Spanish culture!

Hello, everyone,
I am Marcella, a native Italian who has moved to Switzerland to study.
I have a degree in Ancient Literature with a focus on archaeology, and in Italy I am qualified to teach literary classes.
I am doing a PhD in archaeology at the University of Bern, where I teach every two semesters.
I prefer to teach one-to-one or in pairs in order to make the most of my time and focus on people's needs. I prepare targeted courses, which is why I offer a trial lesson to establish the future course of the lessons.
Lessons are usually always mixed, conversation and grammar using audio, video and text material. Depending on the speed at which the student intends to progress, homework assignments are structured.
Try it for yourself! I look forward to seeing you online!
