Nouns & Demonstrative Adjectives

All nouns in French have a gender, either masculine or feminine. For the most part, you must memorize the gender, but there are some endings of words that will help you decide which gender a noun is. Nouns ending in -age and -ment are usually masculine, as are nouns ending with a consonant.

 Nouns ending in -ure, -sion, -tion, -ence, -ance, -té, and -ette are usually feminine.
