Hi JSoke, and welcome to the forum.

Basically:

The definite article always has to match the gender and number of its noun. If the noun is feminine and singular (salsa), then its article also has to be feminine and singular (la salsa). If that same noun becomes plural (salsas) the article also becomes plural (las salsas).becomes plural (las salsas).

We have an article in our reference Section, here that answers your question more fully.

Buena suerte (good luck)

i don't agree with this but thank you anyways because i understand la, las, el, & los but you did not neccesarily answer the question i asked. -_- And my name is Isoke lol - isoke, Nov 21, 2010
