Best Answer

Ce, cet and cette are demonstrative adjectives and they are used when you talk about something specific (like "this" or "that").

"Ce" is used when you're talking about something masculine (this dog: ce chien).

"Cette" is used when you're talking about something feminine (this woman: cette femme).

"Cet" is used when you're talking about something masculine that starts with a vowel (this tree: cet arbre) or a mute h (this man: cet homme, but this owl: ce hibou).
