Bonjour Dinakshi,

The lesson you are referring to in your query is about partitive articles in negative sentences.

The rule is:

Partitive articles du, de la, de l' and des all become de or d' (in front of a vowel or mute h) in negative sentences

Je bois du vin (= I drink wine) -> Je ne bois pas de vin (= I don't drink wine)

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
