Is du ,de la in (Faire du ,faire de la) is partitive articles or not ?Im wondering if du , de la when goes with faire , is it count as partitive articles ?
This is from the lesson:
In this lesson , it says that You can use faire de followed by la or l' in front of a vowel or mute h, but remember that le and les will contract with de and become du and des.
So to my understanding du , de la in this case is NOT partitive articles but rather the combination of de + le = du , de +la = de la
If my understanding is correct , then in negation , it should be translated to
Je ne fais pas du foot ( de + le remains)
But i encounter some samples on internet like this :
je ne fais pas de football (https://www.reddit.com/r/French/comments/1dh6z0s/why_is_it_je_ne_sais_pas_de_ski_and_not_je_ne/)
Can you help me to understand , thank you
In the phrase 'Jules m'apprendra à faire du snowboard', I used 'enseignera' but this was not listed as an optional answer. Could you explain please? Thanks.
Would décéler also work instead of identifier?
Why here we cannot use neuf, it is a new bike so it has not been used.Futhermore it is not living things, neuf here sounds make sense.
In a qwiz you were supposed to fill in the blank: "Qui est cet homme ? - ______ Marc Duprée." I left that one blank, and when I went into the corresponding lesson, it didn't seem to explain why "C'est" is used in this sentence. The lesson says that when être + determiner + noun or pronoun are used, then you're supposed to use "c'est". It didn't mention anything about proper nouns, which is what "Marc Duprée" is.

- écarlate (scarlet)
- fauve (fawn/tan)
- incarnat (rosy pink)
- mauve (mauve)
- pourpre (crimson)
- rose (pink) of course !
I see the origins of fauve (a fawn), mauve (a mallow) and rose (the flower) - but what are the things that écarlate, incarnat and pourpre are named after? Aren't these last three just standard colour names?
A couple of questions:
En forme et en bonne santé- is this a standard spelling despite the masc noun animal?
I struggle with the passive voice..."par" is supposed to be a signal of it....is "the rules have to be established" a passive voice? Why isn't the answer ....is faut que les règles établissent?
Thanks so much for your help with this
The asks to translate Nigeria's population is more than one hundred million people.
The answer given was ‘milliards de’. But isn’t milliards used for billions?
