I'm reading Easy French Step-by-Step
IMHO, une is an indefinite article in French, so its correspondence in English is a/an. Could you please elaborate on how the sentence Il y a une touriste devant le musée is translated as There’s a tourist in front of the museum, but not There’s a tourist in front of a museum?
Un/une are the indefinte articles, le/la/les are the definite articles.
Une touriste → a tourist; le musée → the museum.
In this sentence, the English indefinite and definite articles correspond exactly with the French ones (which is often not the case). Could you explain why you are confused?
