Best Answer

'de' is the genitive ('of/from') preposition.

'Soy de Granada' = 'I am from Granada'

'El edificio es de piedra' = 'The building is (made) of stone'

'del/de la/de los/ de las' are combinations of 'de' and the definite ('the') article

= 'of/from the'

'del' is a contraction of 'de el' ('el' = 'the' for a masculine singular noun)

'de la' is the equivalent for feminine singular nouns

'de los'/'de las' are the equivalents for, respectively, masculine and feminine plural nouns.

What is the difference between the Spanish words de and del?

The spanish word De means 'of'. The Spanish word del means of the. Del is a Spanish contraction formed by taking the words de and el and combining them together.Instead of saying: "Este es la casa de el perro" (This is the dog's house).You would say: "Este es la casa del perro"This contraction only works with the article 'el'. You cannot contract the articles la, los, or las in the same way you do 'el'.This contraction concept also works with the word 'a' which means to.Instead of saying: "Voy a el parque" (I'm going to the park)You would say: "Voy al parque".This is also not like English where you can use either do not or don't and still be correct. In Spanish the contractions 'del' and 'al' MUST be contracted.


When to use las or los in Spanish?

El and La mean "the" but you only use them when talking about one thing. Like a singular word. Ex- El Libro- the book. La fecha- The date. Also they identify gender. El is for masculine words (usually ones that end in "o") and la is for feminine words (usually ending in "a"). Los means "The" but plural. Los is the plural "The" for EL, and Las is the plural for "La". If you are talking about something that would be plural you would have to make the "The" plural and the thing plural. Ex- El libro- The book to Los libros- the books. La fetcha-the date to las fetchas-the dates.
