French Grammar Context

Before we dive into the main vocabulary about fruits and vegetables, let’s first tackle an important rule in the French language – gender. In French, nouns are either masculine or feminine. It’s essential to remember the gender of a noun as it influences article use and adjective agreement.

For example, le for masculine singular nouns and la for feminine singular nouns. Both translate to “the” in English. For plurals, regardless of the gender, we use ‘les’ which means ‘the’.

Let’s have a look at some examples:

• Le garçon (The boy)
• La fille (The girl)

Now let’s apply it on our topic:

• Le légume is vegetable in French, which is masculine.
• La pomme, apple in French, is feminine.
