How to Say The in French
In English there is just one definite article: the.
This is used for all of the nouns, as English is not a gendered language.
the book
the man
the guitar
the island
In French this is not the case. French is a gendered language.
French has two genders:
1 Masculine
2. Feminine
Masculine nouns use the French article le.
le livre
the book
Masculine nouns that begin with a vowel or a mute h take the French article l’.
l’homme
the man
Feminine nouns use the French article la
la guitare
the guitar
Feminine nouns that begin with a vowel or a mute h take the French article l’.
l’île
the island
1. Masculine nouns use le, or l’ if the noun starts with a vowel or mute h.
2. Feminine nouns use la, or l’ if the noun starts with a vowel or mute h
