Show transcript
Use un/une to talk about whole things, and du/de la/de l' (the partitive article) to talk about 'part' of something.
Whole things are normally countable – you can put 'a' or a number in front of them.
Some nouns are uncountable. You can't put 'a' or a number in front of them. Uncountable nouns only take the partitive.
The partitive article changes to 'de' after a quantity and in negatives.
