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

If there are multiple adjectives after c’est, do they gender match the subject?
I'm still translating these types of sentences with être ("Ce matin, mon train était encore plus d'une heure de retard,") Could you please remind me of the rule relating to the use of avoir and not être in these situations. Thank You.
But when is it Avoir vs Etre? I cant seem to learn the rule for this
I got this question wrong in a test on another site. Unfortunately no explanation was given. Can someone tell me why there is no agreement when faire is used in this case as a past participle ?
Les modifications que j'ai faites apporter au projet sont approuvées. (Marked wrong)
Les modifications que j'ai fait apporter au projet sont approuvées. (The right answer)
This question doesn't direct us to use a specific verb. It only gives us the english "to hate" so why can't we use hair? Sorry can't figure out the accents on my keyboard.
you reference a video without giving a link to it!
How do I know which to use? C’est or Il est ?
Hello, on the site it is written "assoyiais" for the 1st Person Plural Imperfect - modern form. Shouldn't it be assoyions?
(https://www.lawlessfrench.com/verb-conjugations/asseoir/)
Please, could someone clarify the rule regarding the following:
Shouldn't "If you could" be translated with the conditional "vous pourriez"? The grammar lesson following this phrase recommends the conditional not the imparfait.
Thanks!
