The correct answer is using partitive article. But I wonder why I cannot use definite article here? I regard them as general item, same case in 'J'aime écoute de la musique' = 'J'aime écoute la musique'
This was a multiple choice question. The correct answer was given as "Tu leur rappelles de faire leur lit." Why isn't it "Tu leur rappelles de faire leurs lits." ?
The question was: "- Nous ?" "- Non, pas ________ !"
The correct response was "vous". Why is "toi" incorrect?
Why "m'a gâché la vie" and not "a gâché ma vie" or "m'est gâchée la vie".

Hey,
why is it "et elle détestait particulièrement être le centre de l'attention."
Collins Robert Dictionary and other online sources all say "le centre d'attention"
The de/de la/d'/du is always confusing.
In paragraph two of the transcript this sentence: 'Matisse rompt avec les règles...' is translated in the pop-up as 'Matisse broke the rules..' I assume this is a fixed construction? Is that exactly what it means or does it mean (as the French indicates with 'avec) that he broke with the accepted rules of the day. In English 'broke the rules' and 'broke with the rules' are not identical. I'm trying to find out if this is the case in French as well. Thanks.
