The correct answer is using partitive article. But I wonder why I cannot use definite article here? I regard them as general item, same case in 'J'aime écoute de la musique' = 'J'aime écoute la musique'

This is a question of the usage of French definite article “le”. I have encountered following two French sentences:

(1)  Il faut que vous puissiez parler français avant d’aller en France.

(2)  Pour apprandre le français, il faut que vous regardiez des films français.

As can be seen from these two sentences, you can notice that the phrase “ …parler français…”in the sentence (1) appears without the French definite article of “le”, but that the phrase “…apprandre le français…” in the sentence (2) appears with the French definite article of “le”.

Why doesn’t the definite article of “le” need in the sentence (1)?  And why does the definite article of “le” need in the sentence (2)?

If you were to say something such as "after eating, I will go for a walk," are you required to use the anterior future and repeat "je" twice, or is it somehow possible to incorporate an infinitive like this (Être allé manger, perhaps?).

Bonjour !

Prepositions are my downfall...

Is it better to say " Dans "  or  " Aux"  as in Dans les Caraibes or Aux Antilles ? Or are both equally acceptable ?

Merci

vs

Nous irons à ta soirée.

What would be the difference in meaning between these two sentences?

Il signifie: faire des erreurs.
