Un, der, el: a printable worksheet on the article of nouns
A picture, and under it the little words of its language: “un” and “une” in French, “der”, “die” and “das” in German, “el” and “la” in Spanish. The child names the picture with its article, then circles the right one. English nouns have no gender: the worksheet is for these three languages.
