There are two types of articles in LC: 023_NB_S1L6_060308 © www.FrenchPod101.com - All Rights Reserved 2008-06-03 FrenchPod101.com Learn French with FREE Podcasts French just as in English: 1. Definite articles- le (masculine / singular) , la (feminine / singular), les (plural) 2. Indefinite articles- un (masculine / singular), une (feminine / singular), des (plural) Each type of article has its own function. Indefinite articles We use indefinite articles in front of nouns that refer to non-specific things or persons, or used in a general non-specific context. In other words, we use indefinite articles when we don't know exactly which one (thing or person) we are talking about. We also use indefinite articles when we refer to a thing, person or concept for the first time. Definite articles We use them when referring to specific things, people, or concepts. We also use them when speakers are referring to the same thing, person, or concept they mentioned in a previous conversation. Example: 4 Le Musée d'Orsay ? C'est un musée parisien. Dans le musée, il y a une boutique de souvenirs, une exposition temporaire et un jardin. "The Orsay Museum? It's a Parisian museum. In the museum, there is a souvenir store, a temporary exposition, and a garden." Cultural Insight French Pronunciation After listening to several dialogues, you've probably noticed that the French language is musical. This is because the French pronounce syllables within words using the same volume. The English stress certain syllables. However, in French this phenomenon doesn't exist.

The absence of stressed syllables combined with liaisons (see the note in the Grammar Bank from Newbie Lesson #4) is what gives French its rhythm. The words flow together like music. 5 LC: 023_NB_S1L6_060308 © www.FrenchPod101.com - All Rights Reserved 2008-06-03
