This classification affects not only the noun itself but also the articles, adjectives, and pronouns that accompany it. Recognizing the gender of nouns is essential for constructing grammatically correct sentences.

Pluralization in French: The rules for forming plurals in French are relatively straightforward, but there are some exceptions to be aware of. Learning how to correctly pluralize nouns is important for effective communication and writing in French.
