Les articles partitifs
There are four types of partitive article in French, du, de la, de l’, and des, used to specify unknown quantities. These correspond to ‘some’ or ‘any’, which are often omitted in English. Choosing which one to use depends on the gender, number and first letter of the noun that follows.
- Qu’est-ce que vous voulez manger ? - Du poulet et de la salade.
-What do you want to eat? -(Some) chicken and (some) salad please.
Aujourd’hui, il y a de la pluie et du soleil.
Today, there is some rain, and some sun.
