Review Summary

  • o/i/to + noun
  • enas/mia/ena + noun

Errores comunes

You used a masculine article for a feminine noun. Always check the ending of the noun.

Wrong: o γυναίκα
Correcto: η γυναίκα

You used the neuter indefinite article for a masculine noun. Remember: enas (masc), mia (fem), ena (neut).

Wrong: ένα άντρας
Correcto: ένας άντρας

The article must match the noun's gender. 'Φίλος' is masculine, so it needs 'ο'.

Wrong: το φίλος
Correcto: ο φίλος
