  • When to use LE LA LES (l') in French. The French definite articles all mean THE in English, but we don't always use them the same way. In French, we always add an article in front of the noun, and Le La Les are no exception to the rule. We use them with:
    - Abstract nouns
    - Concrete nouns in a general way
    - Languages and school subjects
    - Continents, countries, and provinces
    - Metrics
    - Date and days of the week
    - Body parts
    - Parler le
    In front of H, le and la will change to l' when followed by a word starting with a silent h (h muet). It will stay le and la in front of a word starting with aspirated H (h aspiré).

    I have just started learning the French language and this is by far the best and simplest technique I have come across to differentiate between the masculine and the feminine words/objects. Thank you Dylane, I'm happy that I have found you... merci beaucoup.... salut.... á bientot :)

    10:07 Ha ha. You have made the "h" muet in english too. La haie in english is hedge, not edge! Maybe when you are reading this word to yourself you pronounce it as 'edge with a french accent ? Anyhow, this is a really lovely accessible course, well constructed and well presented. I am using it to refresh and deepen my knowledge of french grammar, which I last did at school, a long time ago. You succeed in making it more interesting and at the same time less stressful too, thanks

    Thanks as always.👍👍🙏 I went back to review Pronounciation course #39. You did mention that no way of knowing just by looking at a word is an h muet or an h aspiré. I am courious if the native French speakers can guess it out for words by instinct?

    • @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane

      We know them without thinking. If you ask me out of the blue if this is an H aspiré ou muet, it will take me a few seconds to think about it ;)

    • @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane

      I usually advice starting with grammar. You will see, in the grammar course, you have some review about conjugation. Whenever you see a review, do the chapter in the conjugation course :)

    • @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane
      @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane  2 роки тому +1

      No because in French we use reflexive verbs: se brosser = "Je me brosse les cheveux" - The ME already refers to ourselves so adding MES would result in a double possessive. I know this one is very confusing 😅

    Dear teacher to be honest indefinite and definite articles are still confusing me.
    We use le la les on specified or know objects or anything else and un and une on non specified objects,
    But let's take an example from the video on word ecole (School) ,
    We used definite article how can you know that school is specified ?
    Like there man different schools,
    As there are many different boys when you used un garçon in past examples on indefinite articles,
