Partitive article

Question

In this lesson I'd like to see something about why no article is needed on the thing that is missing. E.g why is
"Je manque du argent pour payers mes factures" wrong?

Accepted Answer

Bonjour Joakim,We've now added more precision to this lesson as to why you only use de or d' : indeed, "To express lacking <something>, you will use manquer de or d' + thing.You won't use the partitive articles (du, de l', de la, des) here, just as you wouldn't say "I lack the sugar" but simply "I lack sugar")."

Voilà !

Merci !

Answer

Can I just check the difference between " He always lacks courage' (Il manque toujours de courage) and 'He still lacks courage'? Would this simply be moving Toujours to the end of yhe sentence?

Je manque D'argent....?
