French Indefinite Articles

The singular indefinite articles in French correspond to "a," "an," or "one" in English,
while the plural corresponds to "some." There are three forms of the French indefinite
article.

1. un    masculine
2. une   feminine
3. des   m or f plural

Note that the plural indefinite article is the same for all nouns, whereas the singular has
different forms for masculine and feminine.

French Definite Articles

The French definite article corresponds to "the" in English. There are four forms of the
French definite article:

1. le   masculine singular
2. la   feminine singular
3. l'    m or f in front of a vowel or h muet
4. les  m or f plural

Which definite article to use depends on three things: the noun's gender, number, and
first letter:

 If the noun is plural, use les

 If it's a singular noun starting with a vowel or h  muet, use l'
 If it's singular and starts with a consonant or h aspiré, use le for a masculine noun
and la for a feminine noun
