Article or no Article?

Question

I want to say "It was a very long project."

Do I need a article in front of very? Era un muy larga proyecto.

O.

Era muy larga proyecto.

Or is it something different than that?

You have my vote for this question. I always mess it up with articles. I think Cordobesa would have liked to have wrapped my knuckes sometimes :-) - 0095ca4c, May 23, 2013

Thank you! They are one of those things we probably should know ( that should be easy ) but every once in awhile they get messy! :D - jessicamccall117, May 23, 2013

Answer 1

When it comes to something like using "a" or "the" in Spanish, you can usually just say it how you would in English

I agree with you. Only replace "the" or "a/an" by the correspondent translation in Spanish. - -cae-, May 23, 2013

Okay that makes sense! I guess I should have known that. Thank you, prboricua! - jessicamccall117, May 23, 2013

Answer 2

Article will be used : Era un proyecto muy largo

Thanks - jessicamccall117, May 23, 2013
