Indefinite article in French
Rule & Examples
In French, nouns are almost always preceded by an article or a determiner. This indicates the gender of the noun (masculine or feminine) and its number (singular or plural).
We use the indefinite articles (articles indéfinis) in the following cases:
To talk about something non-specific:
- Céline est une copine de Noémie. (one of many)
Céline is a friend of Noémie. (one of many)
To mention something for the first time in a text:
- Jean a acheté une moto.
Jean bought a motorbike.
In can be translated by “a” or “an” in English.
