Check audio for 'Tu fais du sport?'. Does not seem correct.
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate faire in Le Présent (present tense)"
Asked 5 years ago
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?
