Introduction to French Nouns

Nouns in French are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. Every noun has a gender: masculine or feminine.

Understanding Gender

French nouns are either masculine or feminine. For example, 'le livre' (the book) is masculine, while 'la table' (the table) is feminine.

Definite Articles: le, la, les, l'

These articles mean 'the'. 'Le' is for masculine, 'la' is for feminine, 'les' is for plural, and 'l'' is for words starting with a vowel.
