      Cuando indirectamente se le hacía reconocer su condición, él replicaba con mansedumbre pascual que su esposa padecía de los nervios, y ante argumentos de tal solidez científica, no cabía sino el silencio.
      Sin embargo, para sus intereses era un águila.

    el águila, un águila
  • They maintain the usual feminine singular articles la and una if an adjective intervenes between the article and the noun.
