1) Forms

2)Uses

The indefinite articles (un, une, des) generally have the same uses as the English indefinite articles a or an.

They precede a common noun which is:

-indefinite :             Un enfant joue. (A child is playing.)

-indeterminate :       Des livres sont sur la table. (Books are on the table.)

Notice that:

1.    The indefinite articles agree in gender  with the singular noun:                       
   Un garçon. ( A boy:Masculine)   Une fille. ( A girl: Feminine)
2.   The indefinite articles agree in number  but no in gender with the plural noun:
   Des garçons et des filles. (Boys and girls.)
   
   
3.  The indefinite article un or une can be a numerale adjective as the English word one:
   J'ai un garçon et deux filles. I have one (or a) boy and two girls.
