    RAPPEL

    An indefinite article is a word used to designate an object which is not specific.

    In French, the indefinite articles agree in gender and number with the noun they qualify. Therefore, they are:

    Words ending in -e and -tion are mostly feminine. Words not ending in -e are therefore masculine. However there are many exceptions such as words in -age, -isme which are masculine.

    Please learn the article with the word when you learn a new word as a way to associate straightaway the gender to the noun.
