Quiz question 'Je suis en vacances du neuf au treize juillet.'
Shouldn't the quiz question use the de (vs du) form because we're talking about specific dates? It seems unlikely I would have the 9th thru 13th off every year?
This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing intervals of dates and times in French = from ... to ..."

Bonjour William !
The lesson explains that you need "du...au..." when the expression would normally use "le", which is the case for dates:
You say "le 9 juillet" or "le 13 juillet", therefore you will use "de + le (du)... à + le (au) ...." with dates.
Have a look at this related lesson:
Expressing dates in French
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
