Articles and gender: le, la, l', les

Every French noun is masculine or feminine. You see it in the article: le chat, la maison, l'école, les livres, un, une, des.

Years 5 and 6 of primary school10 to 13 yearsDraft: Not yet checked by a French teacher.

Why

At the market in Liège you want to buy an apple and say un pomme. The seller smiles and corrects you: une pomme. Why?

In French every word has a gender: masculine or feminine. That gender decides the article, and later also the form of adjectives and possessives.

So you learn every new word together with its article: not pomme, but une pomme. Then you never have to guess later.
