De or des

Question

Je suits fan des or de films...?

Accepted Answer

Bonjour Lucinda,
Je suis fan de films = I am a fan of movies (generally)
Je suis fan des (de + les) films d'animations = I am a fan of animated films (specific type)
See link here on a similar question with 'avoir besoin de' : when-to-use-des
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

Answer

@Céline: I wonder if a lesson on use of the definite article to specify the general and the specific isn't in order. It is cause of a lot of confusion and recurring questions.

Sometimes, adding the article signifies the general category: j'aime le chocolat. And sometimes leaving it off does the same trick: Je suis fan de films.

Answer

Bonjour Chris,Thank you very much for your comment and feedback! I do agree that it is a recurring topic and I'll discuss it with the French team. Merci et bonne journée !
