De la fièvre

Would be be incorrect to say " j’ai (tu,il,elle,etc) une fièvre " ? As in English "I have a fever" as Cécile notes “j’ai une bronchite" or is it alway "j’ai de la… (I have fever)"

Hi Michael,

You would only use the indefinite article  ‘une’  with fièvre, if you qualify it .

E.g.

J’ai une fièvre de cheval I have a raging fever

J’ai une fièvre très élevée I have a very high fever

Hope this helps!
