Definite article in French

Rule

In French, nouns are almost always preceded by an article or a determiner. This indicates the gender of the noun (masculine or feminine) and its number (singular or plural).

The definite article (articles définis) (le, la, les) goes with a noun whose meaning is completely determined.

They correspond to the English article the.


Examples

  • sur la table

on the table,

  • près de la fenêtre

near the window
