Oh, starting with the definite articles in French, like 'the' in English. It's cool how they're breaking it down right from the start with 'le', 'la', 'l'', and 'les'. This seems like a foundational topic for sure.
Okay, so 'les' for plural and a reminder to check gender if unsure, linking to another video. That makes sense; gender is clearly a big deal in French grammar.
Got it, so 'le' for masculine. They're using 'école' here, and noting the 'e' at the end often signifies feminine. This is where the exceptions start to pop up, I bet.
