Can "se faire" mean to "imagine" then? As I can't find that translation anywhere? Understand the context is probably "I make to be"?

Du instead of De

The question, "We come from Texas=Nous venons du Texas. How do I know which counties or regions or states are masculine. For example: We come from 'Alabama'. Is this masculine or feminine?

Merci!

Add more examples - avoir envie de or du/de la

Hi - As Adrian mentioned, this is not enough to explain the change from de to du

Note that de becomes du / de la / de l' / des depending on the gender and number of the noun following it (e.g. of the).

Although Chris has offered good explanations in this Q&A forum - it should be in the lesson itself - Can you please add the variation.

DE LA or DES

"Je vais commonder des pates" is given as the correct answer. Des is used with countable nouns. Pasta is countable?? I suppose in theory it is, but in practice it is not.
