Final answer:
The statement is true; French has three types of articles—definite, indefinite, and partitive—which correspond to specific, nonspecific nouns, and part of something, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement "There are three different types of articles in French (definite, indefinite, and partitive)" is true. In the French language, articles are used to indicate the gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) of the nouns they accompany, as well as how the nouns are being used in the sentence. The definite articles (le, la, les) are used to indicate specific nouns, the indefinite articles (un, une, des) are used to indicate nonspecific nouns, and the partitive articles (du, de la, des) are used to indicate a part of something, usually in the context of quantities that are not precisely defined.
