    Les articles
    One of the eight parts of speech, an
    article is a word that modifies
    a noun in a particular way, by stating
    whether the noun is specific,
    unspecific, or partial. French articles Share / Tweet / Pin Me!
    agree in gender and number with the
    nouns they modify, and there are
    three types:

    Definite / Défini
    The definite article indicates that the speaker is referring to either a specific noun or to a
    class of nouns in a general sense. The English definite article, the, has four equivalent
    forms in French, depending on the gender and number of the noun as well as what letter
    it begins with.

    Singular         Plural

    Masculine le le livre the book   les les livres the books

    Indefinite / Indéfini

    or to one/some of something. The English indefinite article has two forms, a and an,
    while the French has three, depending on the gender and number of the noun.
