Is du ,de la in (Faire du ,faire de la) is partitive articles or not ?Im wondering if du , de la when goes with faire , is it count as partitive articles ?
This is from the lesson:
In this lesson , it says that You can use faire de followed by la or l' in front of a vowel or mute h, but remember that le and les will contract with de and become du and des.
So to my understanding du , de la in this case is NOT partitive articles but rather the combination of de + le = du , de +la = de la
If my understanding is correct , then in negation , it should be translated to
Je ne fais pas du foot ( de + le remains)
But i encounter some samples on internet like this :
je ne fais pas de football (https://www.reddit.com/r/French/comments/1dh6z0s/why_is_it_je_ne_sais_pas_de_ski_and_not_je_ne/)
Can you help me to understand , thank you
Since girls are hugging each other… why are we not using s’enlacées ?

Why is the subjunctive used after "C'est une bonne chose qu" but the indicative is use after "Heureusement que"..... both seem to be an expression of preference which normally has the subjunctive following??
Could you also say here ' nous étions allés écouter des chants de Noël à l'église locale.'?
Eg. Can you say J'aime mangeant instead of J'aime manger
So "j'aime" means "I love" but J'aime bien" means "I like"? It would seem more, to me, that to "aime bien" would be more than just to like but is this just idiomatic?
Over the last few days I have powered through over all the A0 topics in order to get them out of the way and get to study A1 or better lessons,yet for some reason it feels like I am on a loop right now, where all the lessons on my study plan are A0 ones even though all of them are 100%'d already, I even got the award for achieving a 100% completion on a level. Is there any way to get Kwiziq to stop giving me these lessons and get it to give me A1 ones ?
I understand that the partative article is used for uncountable amounts. e.g. 'je mange des pâtes'. It is clear that pasta is never going to be counted, so it makes sense it would be partative des.
However if i say 'je mange des carottes', I could mean a big plate of chopped up carrots which are uncountable, which would be partative des.
Or I could mean I am eating 3 whole carrots which are definitely countable. So would this be indefinite des?
Is it the context that would define which article is used?
Why does the text switch from imparfait to passé composé here:
Nous étions vraiment désolés. Nous nous sommes excusés
In the lesson on the passé composé of vouloir it says:
In Le Passé Composé (Indicatif), the meaning of vouloir is often closer to "tried".Does the same apply to the Plus-que-Parfait?
