Salut ! Welcome to Gina’s French Lessons! Today, I will be teaching you definite articles in French.
French has gendered articles, either masculine or feminine.
When the word is “masculine”, you use “le”. When it’s feminine, you use “la”.
When it’s plural (m. or f.), you use “les.”
When it starts with a silent “h” or a vowel, “le” and “la” are shortened to “l’”.
------------------- Examples ---------------------------
Masculine:
Le village - The village
Le pont - the bridge
Feminine:
La ville - the city
La région - the region
Plural:
Les villages - the villages
Les villes - the cities
L’:
L’océan - the ocean
L’ami - the friend
L’île - the island
