There are three different forms of the word "the" in the French language.

"Le" is the masculine form of "the." "La" is the feminine form.

"Les" is the plural form.

For example, let's say you want to say "the cat" in French. The word for cat is "chat," which is masculine, so you would say "le chat."

If you wanted to say "the beach," you would use the feminine noun of "plage," so it would be "la plage."

If you wanted to refer to these nouns in the plural - "the cats" and "the beaches" - you would use the plural for of "the," which applies to both masculine and feminine plural nouns. Hence, "les chats" and "les plages," respectively.
