Here's a breakdown:
Un
* Masculine singular nouns:
* un livre (a book)
* un chat (a cat)
* un stylo (a pen)
Une
* Feminine singular nouns:
* une table (a table)
* une fleur (a flower)
* une fille (a girl)
Key Points:
* Gender matters: The choice between "un" and "une" depends entirely on the gender of the noun.
* Singular only: "Un" and "une" are only used for singular nouns. For plural nouns, you'll use "des" (for both masculine and feminine).
* Exceptions: Some nouns have irregular genders. You'll need to memorize these, such as:
* "un jour" (a day) - masculine
* "une heure" (an hour) - feminine
Example Sentences:
* Un beau chien. (A beautiful dog)
* Une belle voiture. (A beautiful car)
* Un grand homme. (A tall man)
* Une petite fille. (A little girl)
