In French, nouns are a bit different because they have gender and number.

1. Gender and Number:

• Masculine singular: le livre (the book)
• Feminine singular: la table (the table)
• Masculine plural: les livres (the books)
• Feminine plural: les tables (the tables)

2. Articles:
Articles are like helpers for nouns.

• Definite articles:

  • le (for masculine nouns)
  • la (for feminine nouns)
  • les (for plural nouns)

• Indefinite articles:

  • un (for masculine nouns)
  • une (for feminine nouns)
  • des (for plural nouns)

3. Conjugation of Regular -er Verbs:
Let’s look at a common verb: parler (to speak).

Here’s how you change the verb depending on who is speaking:

• Je parle (I speak)
• Tu parles (You speak)
• Il/elle/on parle (He/She/One speaks)
• Nous parlons (We speak)
• Vous parlez (You speak)
• Ils/elles parlent (They speak)

4. Basic Negation:
To say that something is not happening, you can use "ne... pas."

For example:
Je ne parle pas (I do not speak).
