There are 3 different ways of saying 'the' in French, which is very confusing, I know!! Let me take you through the three different ways: Le - pronounced 'luh'. The word 'le' is used when you are talking about a masculine word, such as 'le chocolat' which means 'the chocolate'. 'Chocolat' is a masculine noun, so le is used. In a sentence you might see/hear it as 'Où est le supermarché?' which means 'where is the supermarket?' La - pronounced 'lah'. The word 'la' is used when you are talking about a feminine word, such as 'la gare' which means 'train station'. 'Train station' is a feminine noun, so 'la' is used. In a sentence, you might hear it as, "Où est la gare?" which means, "Where is the train station?" Les - pronounced 'lay'. The word 'les' is used when you are talking about something that there is more than one of, such as 'les poulets' which means 'the chickens'. 'Les poulets' is talking about more than just one chicken, so 'les' is used. In a sentence, you might hear it as, "Où est les poulets?" which means, "Where are the chickens?"
