Questions & Answers about La historia de la montaña es interesante.
Why do we use la with historia?
In Spanish, historia is a feminine noun, so we use the feminine article la. That is why we say la historia instead of using a masculine article like el.
Why is it de la montaña instead of del montaña?
Because montaña is also a feminine noun, we must keep the feminine article la. Del is a contraction of de + el, which is only used with masculine singular nouns. Here, it's de la due to the feminine form.
Who or what does es interesante refer to?
Es interesante refers to la historia de la montaña, stating that the story itself is inherently interesting. In Spanish, es describes a more permanent or characteristic feature of something.
Why is interesante not changed to match the feminine noun?
In Spanish, adjectives ending in -e have the same form for both masculine and feminine nouns. Since interesante ends in -e, it does not change whether you're talking about a masculine or a feminine noun.
