"les" is a definite article, translated by "the". It is used as the plural of "le" (masculine), la (feminine), l' (apostrophe, used in both masculine or feminine, but before a vowel sound).

La voiture (singular, feminine: the car) > les voitures vont vite (the cars are going fast)

le chien aboie > les chiens aboient (the dog is barking > the dogs are barking)

"Les" is a definite article that is used in French to indicate plural nouns or specific nouns that are being referred to. It is equivalent to "the" in English. Use "les" before plural nouns or specific nouns that are preceded by adjectives.
