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
