Solution
The answer is: When talking about a masculine noun.
Explanation:
When talking about a masculine noun:
In French, "le" is the definite article used for singular masculine nouns. For example, "le chien" (the dog) or "le livre" (the book).
When talking about a feminine noun:
This is incorrect. For singular feminine nouns, the article "la" is used. For example, "la maison" (the house) or "la voiture" (the car).
When talking about a plural noun:
This is incorrect. For plural nouns, regardless of gender, the article "les" is used. For example, "les chiens" (the dogs) or "les maisons" (the houses).
