Bonjour Hoyt !

We've now regenerated this audio example, please have a listen:


Conjugate faire in the present tense in French (Le Présent)

Merci et à bientôt !

Hi Helen, 

The expression is -

Faire du mieux que l'on peut = to do the best you/one can 

and here is the Kwiziq lesson for faire du sport -

Faire de, jouer à : talking about sports, hobbies and leisure activities

hence -

faire de la natation 

Mieux vaut tard que jamais !

Can you explain why there is "du" in this sentence: "Tu fais du mieux que tu peux" (You do the best you can). It's from a quiz. I also noticed "Elle fait de la natation". I'm assuming that there's a 'de" after faire when it comes to sports?
