Not enough that French differenciates between masculine and feminine, it also has a quite challenging number of morphemes to form feminine nouns and plural forms.
Examples
la femme => les femmes (woman => women)
le tableau => les tableaux (table => tables)
le cheval
=> les chevaux (horse
=> horses)
The same does also apply for the adjectives and their suffixes and for nouns that have masculine and feminine forms, like professions, nationalities etc. Soon enough you will find out.
