el or ella

Question

el guardaropa or la guardaropa and why

Answer 1

According to the dictionary:

guardarropa [goo-ar-dar-ro’-pah] noun

1. Wardroom, checkroom (habitación). (f) noun

2. Checkroom attendant, wardrobe (ropero). (m)

Answer 2

It would be la The reason why is because guardarropa is feminine which makes you have to use la, the way you can tell if it is feminine is that it will end in an a. It would not be el because that is masculine and in order to use el it would have to end in an o. Sometimes tho it will end in z or a different letter but generally in the text it will tell you which one it is.
