Bonjour,

Can you explain how to determine which nouns are masculine and which are feminine?

Bonjour Tanish,

On trick is to learn the noun along with an indicator of its gender (although it is not an absolute rule) :

un / le [noun] -> masculin

une / la [noun] -> féminin

Take a look here:

Le genre masculin

Le genre féminin

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
