im not sure which article (either la or le) goes with the word ecole (meanse school0
can you help me?
oh nevermind I figured it out.
Bonjour, Miche! French words that begin with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u and some with h) begin with l' = l'école, but the word is feminine.
Since it looks like you are beginning with articles, I'll see if I can "cut and paste" a review for you. If I can't, I'll come back and retype it:
DEFINITE AND INDEFINITE ARTICLES
The definite article, the has four forms:
le before a masculine singular noun le livre the book
beginning with a consonant
__________________________________________________________
la before a feminine singular noun la page the page
beginning with a consonant
__________________________________________________________
l’ before a singular noun of either l’ami the friend
gender beginning with a vowel l’homme the man
or silent h
__________________________________________________________
les before all plural nouns les livres the books
les pages the pages
les amis the friends
les hommes the men
__________________________________________________________
The indefinite article, a (an), has two forms: un, une.
un before a masculine noun un livre a book
une before a feminine noun une page a page
__________________________________________________________
The article must be expressed in French before each noun, although it may be omitted in English:
le père et la mère the father and mother
un crayon et une plume a pencil and pen
Sra (aka Mme)
P.S. As usual, the "cut and paste" did not work.
