2. In French, when we speak about countries we use the prepositions le, la, l' or les in front of the country. Generally the names of countries that end in "e" are feminine: la France, la Suède. The other names of countries are masculine: le Canada, le Maroc.
Some countries have names that require a plural preposition: les Philippines, les États-Unis. When the name of a country begins with a vowel, we use l': l'Égypte. But be careful! There are exceptions to these rules: le Mexique, le Zimbabwe

The names of all the continents are feminine!
