In french why do you put "la, le, or les" in front of objects or like subjects, etc. Like "Nous parlons francais a la maison" when it translates to "We speak french at home". La translates to "the" so where did the "the" go in the translated sentence?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

its just the way of speaking and writing because we can't say "nous parlons français a maison" it doesn't sound right

it also allows us to distinct between masculine and feminine objects
