Example: Los estudiantes leen las lecciones. Los estudiantes ???? leen. Do I use las or los, my understanding of los or los is feminine or masculine and that los and los means you or them so to say them students they read simply does not make a bit of sense to me please help!!!!!!

Los estudiantes leen las lecciones. The students read the lessons.
It doesn't matter if they are both female and male. but if they are all female then use
Las estudiantes leen las lecciones.

No!!! the gender of the readers is irrelevant!. "las lecciónes" is feminine and that is the direct object to which the pronoun refers. - samdie, Apr 7, 2010
Los/las estudiantes is another question, altogeather. - samdie, Apr 7, 2010
So Samdie when is it "Los estudiantes" and when is it "las estudiantes" ? - ian-hill, Apr 7, 2010
