In which places we have to use definite article and indefinite article in french?
Answers
- We can use definite articles in French based on the noun's gender, number and first letter. If the noun is plural, use les. If it is a singular noun starting with a vowel or h, use l'. If the noun starts with a consonant, use le or la depending on the noun's gender.
- The indefinite articles usually refers to an unspecified person or thing. It can also refer to just one of something. The plural indefinite article (des) means some. We don't use indefinite articles while referring to a person's professtion or religion. In a negative construction, the indefinite article changes to de [(not) any].

Indefinite articles:
The indefinite articles are un (masculine) and une (feminine). We use indefinite articles and des (plural):
• when we’re referring to an unspecified thing
Example:
Sarah est une copine de Lara. (one of many)
• when we mention something in a text for the first time (introductory)
Example:
Elle a acheté une glace.
• when we mention things in plural
Example:
Elle achète des glaces.
• when there's an adjective before a noun, des changes to de.
Example: Ce sont de belles robes rouges.
Definite articles:
The definite articles are le (masculine), la (feminine) – sometimes also l’ (when the following word begins with a vowel or a mute h) – and les (plural). We use the definite article:
• when we’re talking about something or someone specific
Example:
Sarah est la sœur de Tom. (the only one)
• when we have already mentioned something or assume it to be generally known
Example:
Elle aime beaucoup la glace.
• while mentioning a universal fact
Example:
La montagne la plus grande est le Mt. Everest.
• while mentioning dates
Example: On célébre la fête nationale de la france le 14 juillet.
• when telling about a proper noun except names of people
Example:
Le fort rouge est à Delhi.
