Let's Define It!
What's an *article*?
An article in French grammar refers to words such as le, la, un, or des, etc. It always precedes a noun and offers information about it, including among other things
- whether this noun is masculine or feminine (gender)
- whether it is plural or singular (number)
- specific or non-specific
- a part or a whole of a category (partitive) and so on.
Articles are part of the Determiners grammatical category.
There are three main types of articles:
- Definite --> le / la / les / l' [the]
- Indefinite --> un / une / des [a(n)/some]
- Partitives --> du / de la / de l' [some/any]
