Questions & Answers about La cuota íntegra cambia con la deducción fiscal.

Why is there a la at the beginning: La cuota íntegra?

In Spanish, it is very common to use the definite article where English might use the, a, or sometimes no article at all.

Here, la is used because cuota íntegra is being treated as a specific concept, especially in formal or technical language such as tax language.

Also, cuota is a feminine singular noun, so the article must be la:

• la cuota
• not el cuota

Why is it íntegra and not íntegro?

Because adjectives in Spanish usually agree in gender and number with the noun they describe.

• cuota is feminine singular
• so the adjective must also be feminine singular: íntegra

Compare:

• el importe íntegro = masculine singular
• la cuota íntegra = feminine singular
