Hello Nedya, Generally spoken, a noun has the feminine article “la“ if it ends on -ade, -ance, -ée, -elle, -ère, -esse, -ette, -euse, -ie, -ine, -ion, -ise, -té, -tude or -ure. (As you can see, most of these endings have an “e“ at the end. This makes it even easier to remember them.) Generally spoken, a noun has the masculine article “le“ if it ends on -age, -aire, -al, -eau, -ment, -et, -ier, -in, -isme, -oir or -on. On purpose I don‘t want to confuse you with the exceptions from these rules now. :-) All the best, Tommy

Bonjour, French nouns, unlike English nouns, have a gender. Every nouns is either masculine or feminine. Nouns that refer specifically to males (people or animals) such as father, boy, son etc...are masculine. Those that refer to females (people or animals) such as mother, girl, daughter etc... are feminine. For most other nouns, gender is usually arbitrary and must be memorized with practice... Good luck !
