The definite article
In French, there are exactly two grammatical genders. They are called
masculine and feminine. Every noun in French has either one of these genders.
The definite French articles of these genders are 'le' (masculine) and 'la' (feminine).
Here are a few already known vocabularies but also some new ones.
Please learn each word below together with its French article (gender) so that in the future you
will be able to use these words correctly in different contexts.
You most certainly noticed that the French article 'le' is replaced by 'l' plus apostrophe
in front of the word 'arbre' (tree). Whenever the noun following any definite article (regardless of
whether the article is 'le' or 'la') starts with a vowel (e.g. 'arbre'), the article gets shortened to
'l' plus apostrophe. With vowels, we mean the letters a, e, i, o and u.
