What are the things called that go in front of a word in French?

Question

for example: un casier, des broches.

Does anyone know of any websites that list these for the words.

Answer 1

There are four types of the French article :

article indéfini, défini, contracté, partitif

Key in those 5 words (just copy and paste) at Google or Yahoo

Good luck!
