Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can describe what I buy and eat using the partitive and indefinite articles.

Show transcript
[th] sounds like 'thé'. The verbs 'acheter' and 'peser' have a spelling change in the present tense from 'e' to 'è' affecting pronounciation. Un/une/des is for whole items; the partitive article du/de la/de l' is for parts. It must not be missed out in French. De + definite article means, e.g. 'of the', 'from the'. The partitive looks identical but its meaning is 'some'. The word for 'some' changes depending on the gender/number/spelling of the noun it describes.
