that

NOTE:
As a determiner In French, determiners agree in gender and number with the noun that follows;
that is translated by ce + masculine singular noun (ce monsieur), by cet + masculine singular noun beginning with a vowel or mute `h' (cet arbre, cet homme) and by cette + feminine singular noun (cette femme). The plural form those is translated by ces. Note, however, that the above translations are also used for the English this (plural these). So when it is necessary to insist on that as opposed to others of the same sort -là is added to the noun: I prefer THAT version = je préfère cette version-l'a. As a pronoun (meaning that one) In French, pronouns reflect the gender and number of the noun they are standing for. So that (meaning that one) is translated by celui-là for a masculine noun, celle-là for a feminine noun;
those (meaning those ones) is translated by ceux-là for a masculine plural noun and celles-là for a feminine plural noun.
