Indefinite Articles

The indefinite articles in Spanish are un and una. With masculine nouns un is used; with feminine nouns, una is used.

un libro a book una pluma a pen
un cuchillo knife una mesa a table

The indefinite article is used in Spanish exactly as in English, with this minor difference: the indefinite article is not used before a predicate noun in Spanish, especially when the predicate noun indicates nationality or profession.

Ricardo es maestro.
Richard is a teacher.

Soy americano.
I am an American.
