Possession of things

Question

When do you use une in place of la in french

Marie Flannery · Accepted Answer

Hi Joshua,It depends on your intended meaning. As the lesson explains, you would use "une" to express "a/an" or "one", whereas you would use "la" to express "the". So for example:J'ai une guitare = I have a guitar / I have one guitar.J'ai la guitare = I have the guitar.Hope this helps :)

This happens when the context admits a/an, i.e, indefinite article as opposed when the article 8s the which is definite.
