So, "Die" is used in the cases of feminine nouns such as "woman" and "girl", pronouns like "we" and "they", and plural neutral nouns such as "children". "Der" is used in the case of singular masculine nouns such as "boy" and "man". "Das" is used in the more uncommon case of singular neutral nouns like "child" or "book". Please correct me if I forgot anything or got anything wrong.

Mädchen [girl] is actually neuter, for some reason. Yet newspaper is feminine and skirt is masculine
