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.
