Je n'ai pas trouvé les sushis

S. B.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Why is it "les" (sushi in general) instead of "de" (not any)? Same question later on in reverse - why is it "si vous avez de la Tiger" (some Tiger) and not "la Tiger" (Tiger beer in general)? Somehow I can understand how to use the subjunctive, but cannot master the French articles and prepositions which seem to pose the biggest challenge.

This question relates to:French writing exercise "At the Chinese restaurant"

Hi Sean,

1. Both 'les' and 'de' is given as acceptable for 'sushis' in the exercise.

2. Do you have any Tiger beer? = Vous avez de la bière Tiger? / Vous avez de la Tiger?

Hope this helps!
