Hello,

Is there is a reason why some words require a 'consolidated' partitive with the definite article (du / de la) and some only require the 'unconsolidated' partitive (de)? Such as "je bois du vin' vs. nous buvons 2 litres d'eau par jour'?

I am trying to come up with a little rule to make things easier to learn / remember, but it doesn't seem that it works like that.

Thanks,

Alex

My immediate instinct was to use "Attention ! Le mélange ne devrait pas trop chaud," but it was marked incorrect. In this particular context, is there a hard reason why it is better to use "Le mélange ne doit pas être trop chaud" instead? 

After learning all A1 vocab, will I be at level A1. Does it cover all topics regarding vocab? Merci.

I saw "Il a fait les mêmes choix." in the exercise.

Here mêmes is before the noun and choix is plural. Why we don’t use de in this situation? Thank you.

I was going to choose the right answer when I second guessed myself because of the "de". How would you say "I'm watching from beautiful hills"? What would "Je regarde à les belles collines" translate into, or is this sentence completely incorrect?

Surely for cars that are "theirs" that is plural and should be "les leurs"?

Should there not be an apostrophe "their's" to denote a single person and therefore allow "la leur"?

Qu’est-ce que c’est « un plaid »? Est-ce une couverture ?

In one of quiz’s question it asks something like qu’est cet homme? And the answer is ; c’est (name of the person). I was wondering if we can say “il est…” instead of c’est. Since its asking about a particular person and while studying “il/elle est” it says if its asking about a specific thing we should use it. I need a bit clarifications please.
