German Nouns have grammatical gender and not biological gender. What this means is that sometimes a person can be of different gender even if it biological gender is actually something else.
example: A young girl is biologically female. So her gender would be feminine.
But in german it is das Mädchen. Here das indicates neuter gender, which comes from the grammatical gender.
So it is always best to learn a noun with its article and gender. It will help in the long term.
The article change depending on the use of the noun in Accusative, Nominative, Dative, or Genative.
The article ‘the’ will always be ‘die’ for all the plural nouns.
