Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can use indefinite and partitive articles accurately to describe food and drink quantities and I can recognise when 'y' and 'en' are used to shorten sentences.

Show transcript
Use un/une (indefinite article) to describe whole things, and du/de la/de l' (partitive article) for parts of things. Uncountable nouns, such as water or money, do not have a plural form. They are used with the partitive article. 'Y' can replace 'à' + [a place] to mean 'there', e.g. 'elle y va demain'. 'En' can replace 'de' + noun and can mean '(of) it/them', e.g. 'j'aime la confiture, j'en mange tous les jours'. [en] is pronounced as in ‘enfant’.
