Nouns (Norms) – According to the terms and regulations of French Language, nouns are defined to be the things which are living or non living. French nouns are classified into these two genders. According to English language, nouns are classified in to three genders such as Feminine, Masculine and Neutral.
Therefore, by-wording every noun followed by an article in-front of it can recognize to which category any noun belongs in French. In spite of having several regulations and conventions in French to identify the gender of the noun, the suitable usage of the article can realize through the gender of the noun. Let’s recognize the fundamental gender bias of the French language as follows.
‘Le’ is assigned in front of every unique masculine noun and similarly ‘La’ is assigned in front of every unique feminine noun. Here, It has been mentioned some masculine and feminine nouns occupying with their relevant article.
