Using article before nouns - Part 1 of 5 (10 words)

Question

General rules for using articles. There are exceptions to these rules but hopefully I am choosing words that don't have the exceptions. I'll deal with the troublesome words later. Also, if I I typos, please correct those. Thank you! Gracias!

Masculine:

1- ending in -O

2 - ending in -E

3 - ending in accented vowels: á, é, í, ó, ú

4 - words ending in –ma

5 - all constants, except: d, z, ión

Feminine:

6 - generally ends in -A

7 - words ending in -d, -z, ión

Using the above general rules please correct any of my mistakes. I hope these 5 part posts will help others, too!
