Indefinite articles in French

Bonjour! In this lesson we will study about indefinite articles in French. As we know an indefinite article indicates that its noun is not a particular one (or ones) identifiable to the listener. It may be something that the speaker is mentioning for the first time, or its precise identity may be irrelevant or hypothetical, or the speaker may be making a general statement about any such thing.

In French indefinite articles correspond to "a," "an," or "one" in English, while the plural corresponds to "some." There are three forms of the French indefinite article.


un masculine

une feminine

des masculine or feminine plural


Exemple:


Un crayon, here I have written un crayon because pencil is masculine in French.




Une gomme, here I have written une gomme because eraser is feminine in French.



Des crayons, here I have written des crayons because pencils are plural.



Hope now the concept of indefinite articles is clear to all of you :).. Keep practicing and don't forget to complete or finish worksheet.
