un águila
el águila
las águilas
The A is tonic in the first syllable so you don't say una águila or la águila ..think about how that would sound to say? The "a" would disappear anyway.
When the 'a' can be separated then you can/should/will use the feminine form Las águilas etc
Another example of a tonic "a" in the first syllable = agua el agua
There isn't a given accent mark, but the a is tonic in that first syllable.
also el hada (since the h is silent)
la aRAÑa - three syllables... the tonic syllable is RAÑ as opposed to agua (A-gua)
I'm not sure I explained well at all, but I'm sending this in, hope it helps.
Because the feminine noun águila begins with the stressed vowel á-, the correct form is un águila Un---the indefinite article,masculine,singular and el---the definite article,masculin,singular determine in singular:
-masculine nouns:
Un niño = A child
-the feminine nouns that beginn with the stressed vowel á- and with the consonant h- + the stressed vowel á-.Remember!. Only in singular:
Un águila----El águila = An eagle = The eagle
Un hada---El hada = A fair----The fair
