As a general rule, feminine nouns are preceded by <strong>une<\/strong> when singular. Thus, <strong>une casquette<\/strong> is the correct phrase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Des shorts<\/strong>:<br>&#8220;Shorts&#8221; is a plural noun in French, and French nouns that are plural use <strong>des<\/strong> as their indefinite article, regardless of gender. Even though &#8220;shorts&#8221; is borrowed from English and is typically masculine in gender, the plural form requires <strong>des<\/strong>. So, we say <strong>des shorts<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Un maillot de bain<\/strong>:<br>&#8220;Maillot de bain&#8221; (meaning &#8220;swimsuit&#8221;) is masculine in French, and masculine singular nouns are preceded by <strong>un<\/strong>. Therefore, <strong>un maillot de bain<\/strong> is the correct combination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary of the rules:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Un<\/strong>: Used with masculine singular nouns (e.g., <strong>un maillot de bain<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Une<\/strong>: Used with feminine singular nouns (e.g., <strong>une casquette<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Des<\/strong>: Used with plural nouns, whether masculine or feminine (e.g., <strong>des shorts<\/strong>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By matching these indefinite articles correctly, we align with the gender and number rules in French
