3 Definite articles (the)
• A noun is a person, place, or thing. For example, a body part, such as the head, is a noun. • All French nouns have a special “identity”. They are either masculine or feminine. This does not mean they are boys and girls or that only boys can use the masculine and only girls can use the feminine, rather it is just a part of the word that must be acknowledged.

4 There are 4 definite articles in French.
All 4 definite articles mean “the” in English. When to use each one depends on whether the noun is masculine/feminine, singular/plural, and what the first letter of the noun is. Le: used before masculine, singular nouns beginning with a consonant other than “h” La: used before feminine, singular nouns beginning with a consonant other than “h” L’: used before masculine/feminine, singular nouns beginning with a vowel or :h” Les: used before all masculine/feminine, plural nouns
