Usage notes

• The feminine noun abra is like other feminine nouns starting with a stressed a sound in that it takes the definite article el (normally reserved for masculine nouns) in the singular when there is no intervening adjective:

el abra

• However, if an adjective, even one that begins with a stressed a sound such as alta or ancha, intervenes between the article and the noun, the article reverts to la.

1. First-person singular (yo) present subjunctive form of abrir.
2. Third-person singular (él, ella, also used with usted^?) present subjunctive form of abrir.
