### General Grammar Tip

In Spanish, articles and adjectives must agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify. For example:
- Una imagen (feminine singular) vs. Un imagen (incorrect).
- El elefante (masculine singular) vs. La elefante (incorrect for masculine nouns, but correct if referring to a female elephant).
- Otros animales (masculine plural) vs. Otras animales (incorrect for masculine nouns, but correct for feminine nouns).
