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.
