Here's how it works:
* "La" is used before feminine singular nouns. For example:
* La maison (the house)
* La fille (the girl)
* La table (the table)
To get the correct English translation, you need to consider the entire phrase where "la" is used.
Example:
* "La maison est grande." translates to "The house is big."
