In Catalan grammar, contracted articles are formed by the combination of a preposition and a definite article. These contractions occur to create smoother and more fluid speech, as well as maintain grammatical consistency. The most common contracted articles in Catalan are formed by combining the prepositions “a,” “de,” and “per” with the definite articles “el,” “la,” “els,” and “les.” In this exercise, you will practice using contracted articles in Catalan grammar through fill-in-the-blank sentences.
