  9. Possessive Adjectives: • They come before the noun that they modify and agree in gender and number with that noun. • Note: All nouns that begin with a vowel sound use the masculine singular form.

  10. The possessive adjectives for Our, Your and Their have only TWO forms, singular and plural:

  11. DEFINITE ARTICLES • In French, few nouns can stand alone. Most need to be introduced or 'determined' by an article. As in English, an article is characterized as either definite ('the') or indefinite ('a', 'an'). In addition, French articles are also masculine or feminine, singular or plural, according to the gender and number of the noun they determine.

  12. In the examples above, note that le and la both become l' when they precede a noun beginning with a vowel or a silent h: l'amie, l'université. This is called elision. Unlike le and la, les does not have a contracted, reduced form.

  13. INDEFINITE ARTICLES • In French all nouns are either masculine or feminine; this is referred to as 'gender'. the masculine word for 'a' or 'an' is un, the feminine is une. Both become des in the plural.As a very rough guide, there is a fair chance that a word ending in the written form with 'e' will be feminine,eg: une banque.

  14. Note that: • desrefers to an undefined number in the plural and applies to both masculine and feminine. eg: des banquiers, des banques. • a few nouns designating people use the same form for men and women, eg: un, une propriétaire; un, une responsable du marketing; un, une comptable; un, une collègue; un, une analyste . 

  15. THE PARTITIVES • Du, de la, de l’, des = unspecified quantity • When you are talking about a portion of an item (food), or something that cannot be quantified (e.g. qualities, like patience), use a partitive article: 
du (+ masculine word) 
de la (+ feminine word),
 de l’ (followed by a vowel),
 des (+ plural word). • These express a notion of quantity, a vague one, a non-specific one.

  16. Important: these articles are often used after the verbs vouloir (“Je voudrais du vin”) or avoir (“J’ai des chats”) and with food. • It’s the notion of “some” in English, but we don’t always use the word “some”. Often, we use nothing at all. In French, you need to “accompany” your word with something. Ex: Je voudrais de l’eau, s’il vous plait. (some water, maybe a glass, or maybe a bottle…) Ex: Le professeur a de la patience. (patience ; you are not saying how much patience the teacher has, just that he/she has some)

  17. To describe an unspecified plural quantity, use “des” (both feminine and masculine)
. This tells you there is more than one item, but again, it’s a vague plural quantity (could be 2, could be 10,000 or more)… This “des” usually applies to whole items, that you could count, but decided not to. Ex: Je vais acheter des pommes. (I’m going to buy apples. In English, we’d probably won’t use an article there. Maybe some, but not necessarily. In French, you need to use “des”)

  18. Be careful, translation doesn’t always work: Example “elle a des amis formidables”. In English, if you say “she has some great friends” you’d be strongly implying that her other friends are not so great… So here, we’d use an article when in English you’d probably use nothing “she has great friends”. You need to use the French logic :”she has a “unspecific quantity plural” friends”.

  19. DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVES • Demonstrative adjectives (this, that, these, those) are words used in place of articles to indicate a specific noun. In French, they must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. • J’adore ce libre / J’adore cetami • Cette robe est belle • J’achète ceslivres
