## Regle
- ### Eg. 1
- A girl = une fille --> use ```une``` because ```fille``` is ```feminine```, ```singular```
- Some milk = du lait --> use ```du``` because ```lait``` is ```masculine```, ```singular```
- His dogs = ses chiens --> use ```ses``` because ```chiens``` is ```masculine```, ```plural```
- ### Eg. 2
- Both Tomy and Betty have a sister. When referring to their sisters, they will both say ** ```ma soeur```** because ```sister``` is a ** ```feminine, singular```** word. Furthermore, if they are referring to their fathers. they will both say ** ```mon père```** because ```father``` is a ** ``` masculine, singular```** word.
- **Point:** Their gender doesn't matter! It's the gender and number of the thing(noun) we're referring to that determines what little word you use
