When to use definite articles in front of nouns.

Question

Hello. I would like to know when am I suppose to use definite articles such as "el and la" in my sentences. Does it also make a difference if I use them or don't use them?

For example: How do I say : El tiene el bigote carto or El tiene bigote corto.

Thank You and I appreciate it.

Answer 1

Él tiene el bigote corto. He has a short moustache.

él is different from el. The first one is a personal pronoun, the other is a definite article.

Edit: I don't think this was your question. Anyway just mind your accents when writing in Spanish.

Answer 2

Se usa antes de un sustantivo para indicar que el objeto al que se refiere es ya conocido por el hablante y por el oyente.

Ejemplo:

Trajiste la película?
