Memory Tips
'Haus' sounds very similar to the English 'house'. To remember the article 'das', you can think of a 'mouse in the house', as 'Maus' is also a neuter noun in German (die Maus, oh wait, it's feminine... let's try another one). Imagine 'Das House' like 'The House' in a neutral, factual statement.
