Difference between indefinite and definite articles?
Indefinite = Un, Une, Des
Defenite = La, Le, Les
The indefinite articles means A or A(n)
and Des means some.
Le, and La mean the, and Les is the plural form of these two.
Give example of each:
1.Je vais manger des fromage.(Does fromage need an s at the end, as it is plural?)
2.Je veux une pomme.
3.Les filles aiment écouter de la musique.
Could you please give me few more examples please
Le garcon s'appelle Max.
J'ai un frere et une soeur.
Le francais c'est une langue tres facile.
La voiture est rouge.
Wow thanks Grace so much:)
Perhaps Grace had problems with the keyboard when typing accented vowels.
Watch out for:
garçon
frère
français
très
In French, when accents are omitted or incorrect, they are counted as spelling mistakes.
One more form for "definite" = le, l', la, les
1. to answer your question, yes, indeed. des signifies plural so fromages must have the "s"
MathMate is absolutely correct! A word requires an accent mark, if you are headed for an AP or IB exam, YES, the word is TOTALLY wrong! It's either right or wrong = no 1/2 way!
Sra (aka Mme)
P.S. OOPS! I nearly forgot to mention = do NOT miss the Related Questions down below. They have similar questions and earlier answers.

Certainly! Here are a few more examples:
Indefinite Articles:
1. J'ai besoin d'un stylo. (I need a pen.)
2. Il y a une maison à vendre. (There is a house for sale.)
3. As-tu des frères et sœurs ? (Do you have any siblings?)
Definite Articles:
1. La voiture est rouge. (The car is red.)
2. Le chien aboie. (The dog barks.)
3. Les enfants jouent dans le parc. (The children are playing in the park.)
I hope these examples help clarify the difference between indefinite and definite articles! Let me know if you have any more questions.
