In French, the word ‘classe’ is feminine. You can tell because it uses the feminine article ‘la’ (la classe). In French, nouns are assigned a gender, which can either be masculine or feminine, and this is often not tied to the meaning of the word itself. For example, although ‘classe’ refers to a class and doesn’t have a gendered meaning in English, it is treated as feminine in French grammar.
This means that when you use adjectives with ‘classe’, you should use the feminine form. For instance, you would say ‘une classe intéressante’ (an interesting class) instead of ‘un classe intéressant’. Understanding the gender of nouns is essential when speaking or writing in French, as it influences agreement with articles and adjectives.
