Les Articles

A noun is the name of a person, place, or thing.

In French, every noun has a gender, either
masculine or feminine. Except for people, you
cannot tell what the gender of a noun is by just
looking at it. You must either be familiar with the
noun or use other clues.

In English, we have definite articles ( the ) and
indefinite articles ( a/an ).

French is the same except each article is
different depending on gender and number.
Definite or Indefinite
I
see a girl.
 The girl is funny.
 She is a student.
 She is the best student.
 She goes to a school in Nashville.
 The school is named Hillsboro.
