Unit 1 Leçon 2a Notes In this lesson we learn that every noun in French is either masculine or feminine, and began to explore this with the words for some people. Of course, words that refer to men are masculine, and 99% of the words that refer to women are feminine. To help us remember whether everyday words are masculine or feminine, we will learn every noun with the word “un” or “ une ” (un livre = a book; une table = a table).
