Les articles partitifs (Partitive Articles)

  • Formation des articles partitifs:
    de + article défini → article partitif
    • de + le → Du (before masculine singular nouns)
      Exemple: Il achète du pain. (He buys some bread.)
    • de + la → de la (before feminine singular nouns)
      Exemple: Il achète de la confiture. (He buys some jam.)
    • de + l' → de l' (before masculine and feminine singular nouns beginning with a vowel or silent h)
      Exemple: Il achète de l'eau. (He buys some water.)
      Exemple: Il achète de l'aubergine. (He buys some eggplant.)
    • de + les → des (before masculine and feminine plural nouns)
      Exemple: Il achète des biscuits. (He buys some cookies.)

L'article défini ou l'article partitif? (The definite article or the partitive article?)

  • We use the partitive articles only to denote an imprecise quantity, i.e., some. When we are talking in the general sense or about a precise quantity, we use the definite articles.

    • Exemples:
      • J'aime le thé et il préfère le café. (I like tea and he prefers coffee.)
      • Elle aime le chocolat mais elle déteste les légumes. (She likes chocolates but she dislikes vegetables.)
      • Voilà des chocolats, j'achète le chocolat noir. (Here are some chocolates, I am buying the dark chocolate.)
      • Voilà le gâteau d'anniversaire, voulez-vous du gâteau? (Here is the birthday cake, do you want some cake?)

La négation avec l'article partitif (Negation with partitive article)

  • Like the indefinite articles un, une, des, the partitive articles also become de or d' in the negative.

    • Exemples:
      • Je veux du gâteau. (I want some cake.)
      • Je ne veux pas de gâteau. (I do not want any cake.)
      • Elle mange de la viande. (She eats some meat.)
      • Elle ne mange pas de viande. (She does not eat any meat.)
      • Vous achetez des robes. (You buy some dresses.)
      • Vous n'achetez pas de robes. (You do not buy any dresses.)
