In English the indefinite articles are a and an (singular) or some (plural). In Spanish there are different forms for masculine-gender, feminine-gender, singular or plural.

a (masculine singular)

a (feminine singular)
some (masculine plural)
some (feminine plural)


Examples:

un niño a boy
una niña a girl
unos niños some boys
unas niñas some girls


For phonetic reasons some words beginning with accented a may have the article un: un ave blanca (a white bird), las aves blancas (the white birds). This is basically the same idea as el ave blanca (the white bird).

Remember, do not confuse uno (one) with un (a or an).
Also, do not confuse una (a or an) with uña (fingernail).
