Question about sentence

Liz H.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

In the sentence: Anne et Alain apprendront la cuisine le mois prochain, I’m confused why it’s la cuisine and not à cuisiner since the translation was: will learn how to cook. Can someone explain this? Thanks.

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate -dre and -re verbs in the future tense in French (Le Futur Simple)"

Hi Liz,

Having checked with others you could say -

Apprendrons la cuisine, les mathématiques, les tables de multiplication (discipline)

Apprendrons à cuisiner, à nager, à jouer de la clarinette

Apprendrons à faire la cuisine, la peinture, le ménage

The quiz was testing 'apprendre'.

Hope this helps!
