Defination
The French definite article has four forms:
Le (masculine singular), La (feminine singular), L' (followed by a vowel), Les (plural).
French has three forms of the indefinite articles "a / an" and "some". They are Un, une and des. Usage depends on the gender and number (singular, plural) of the noun. Un is used with singular masculine nouns.

Defination
Partitive articles used with uncountable nouns like chocolate, water, and money
French partitive articles
Masculine: du
Feminine : de la
vowel: de l’
plural : des
.
5
When the French definite articles le and les are preceded by the prepositions à or de, the two words contract.
à + le = au. à + les = aux. de + le = du. de + les = des.
The most common French prepositions are à (to, at, in) and de (of, from, about). When these two prepositions are followed by the definite articles le and les, a contraction needs to be formed
