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
Nobody actually uses `ne` in ne...pas, ne...que, ne...personne, etc. in regular speech. It is strange to have both ne...pas and ...pas as possible answers yet only mark ne...pas as correct, especially given that these example sentences are all in a colloquial register. I think it would make more sense to simply remove ...pas as an option if you wish to reinforce the ne...pas pattern for writing, but really they should both be accepted.

If there are multiple adjectives after c’est, do they gender match the subject?
I have 100% on A1 and A2. I have around 90% B1 and around 90% B2. The program keeps putting me in B1. How do I get back to B2?
I'm still translating these types of sentences with être ("Ce matin, mon train était encore plus d'une heure de retard,") Could you please remind me of the rule relating to the use of avoir and not être in these situations. Thank You.
But when is it Avoir vs Etre? I cant seem to learn the rule for this
I got this question wrong in a test on another site. Unfortunately no explanation was given. Can someone tell me why there is no agreement when faire is used in this case as a past participle ?
Les modifications que j'ai faites apporter au projet sont approuvées. (Marked wrong)
Les modifications que j'ai fait apporter au projet sont approuvées. (The right answer)
This question doesn't direct us to use a specific verb. It only gives us the english "to hate" so why can't we use hair? Sorry can't figure out the accents on my keyboard.
you reference a video without giving a link to it!
How do I know which to use? C’est or Il est ?
