In the lesson on the partitive articles, they are listed as du, de l’, de la and des. When would you use the plural “des?” It seems that with uncountable nouns, you’re always talking about an amount or quantity of something, some sugar, some coffee, etc and would therefore always be singular.
The example is given of something like “Tu achètes des épinards.” Here, “des” is used because “épinards” is a masculine plural noun. Is this the only time you use “des?” Otherwise, it’s really used as an indefinite article?
Thank you for any help!
I noticed that for the two verbs that have to do with thoughts croire and savoir, the example phrases are negated. Are you able to use these verbs in positive sentences with passé composé or is it more appropriate to use the imparfait since it’s hard to know how long and how many times something was thought or believed?
What am I missing?
Is it correct?
"Fais attention à tout ce qui se passe." - why here uses "ce qui"? Isn't it refer to "tout" which should use "qui"?
In the sentence the weather was nice for whole week, so we should have used il faisait but you have used il a fait please explain
