Did you notice anything different about the
French word for a with these pets?
Thats right, one says un, the other says une.
They both mean a so why are they different?
In French all nouns (person, place or things) are
known as either Masculine or Feminine.
Read the next slide carefully as it will explain
more
keywords
14
READ THIS SLIDE VERY CAREFULLY
Every NOUN in French is either Masculine or
Feminine
A noun is a person, place or thing. Any word that
you can put the word a or the in front.
In French, the words for a and the are
different, depending on if the word is masculine
or feminine.
ENGLISH
MASCULINE
FEMININE
UNE
A
UN
LA
LE
THE
REMEMBER It is the word itself which is either
masculine or feminine. You might own a female
cat, but the word for cat in French will always
be masculine.
How do you know if a word is masculine or
feminine? You have to learn them!!
When you learn a new noun in French, you will
always learn it with the extra words UN, UNE,
LE or LA. Just like you did with the words
for pets.
