Definite Article
In English, the definite article is always “the”.
In French, you choose from un, une and des, depending on whether the
noun is masculine or feminine, and singular or plural. Again, indefinite
articles in French take different forms depending on gender and number.
The articles un and une literally mean one in French. Un is used in front
of masculine singular nouns. Une is used in front of feminine singular
nouns.
