[@nehla3627]

hello, in an exercise where we have to use both how do we know when to use partitif and when to use contracte?

[@sowmethamohan6096]

Partitive articles are used for food.

[@fancynancy2524]

Bonjour! Thank you! This was awesome. I finally got it!! Your accent is beautiful. :)

[@Frenchspanishonline]

@ashburnhouse Sure, du is the contraction of de le and au of à le, je viens du marché 'I come from the market), je vais au marché (I go to the market), the problem is that it is not always easy to know which preposition to use, most of them depend on the verb, for example: j'obéis au director (I obey the director), here in French the verb is obéir à (it is a prepositional verb) but not in English, so you need to know the verbs and their prepositions.

[@lolamercado3234]

Oh, how I love you Pascal! This lesson helped me a lot!

[@dimples_maftuna]

Thank you so much. I was so struggling with these prepositions but now I don't have any problem with them!

[@MayaxAlshabk]

thank you really helped me pass my final exam

[@samantttha]

Thx again! It's these little things in french that really boggle my mind at times, but now i can understand them i can learn

[@annabiju7112]

thank you so much for this video! It was very helpful. But I have a small question. When do you use the preposition en?

[@Frenchspanishonline]

@hiffy30303 de l is for all de l' amour (amour is masculine) de l'envie (envie is feminine)

[@shareecurrie2251]

Brilliant! Very clear and easy to understand! Tres Bon!

[@Frenchspanishonline]

As you can see in the title à can be with la too.

[@Frenchspanishonline]

thank you and you are right, unfortunately there is no rule to know when to use à or de, you need to learn the expressions. It is the same thing for plus de, moins de, beaucoup de, pas de, they are expressions you need to know, but it is a good point for you as we can hear many people saying beaucoup des, but it is wrong.

[@harshithsaikumar8709]

thank u so much myan, its coz of u that i m able to learn for my french exam tmrw...ur explanation was on point and was clear keep posting vids on french... well done boi

[@Frenchspanishonline]

@john26razor Thank you!

[@Frenchspanishonline]

@0megaSapphire yes, you can but you pronounce it as if it was a "s"

[@Mikesennna]

Parfait! Merci professeur!!!

[@Sirdoman]

This was very helpful, thank you kind sir.

[@hnodri]

thank you so much! You explain this muuch better than my teacher, might have just saved me for my final tomorrow :)

[@Frenchspanishonline]

@jerichblue21 le? I don't understand, le is not a contraction, for the feminie we say à la but the masculine is au, using à le is an error.

[@luckyfercohello]

thank you for the explanation, much clearr than my teacher!!!! me va a ser muyyyy util!!!!!

[@Frenchspanishonline]

thank you, you should find them in the Grammar Part

[@ib3b0]

merveilleuse explication. vous êtes un tuteur grande,,

[@Imnosupermaan]

Thank you very much for all your help! I swear I've learnt more from you in a few weeks than I have from my teachers in 7 years. I am confused however as to how you know when to use 'à' and when to use 'de', they both mean the same thing so which one do you use?! Also I know there are times when you don't conjugate the de, for example after quantities (plus de, moins de). But, other than that, do you ALWAYS conjugate it? :) thank you!

[@leop12768]

Thanks I have a test this Tuesday I was having trouble with this now i get it thanks

[@notyourbaddie6291]

Im here at 2020 I bet u use the same accont but please reply

@Islami2011 choukrane

[@jackfavvv]

I'm really confused as to how prepositions work inbetween words like: Rondelle à la menthe(Mint Patty), Muffins aux carottes(Carrot Muffins), Café au lait(Coffee With Milk), etc. How do I know which prepositions to use, and are the nouns always written in reverse?

[@Frenchspanishonline]

***** about the prepositon à, it depends on the gender of the following word or if it start with a vowel: à la menthe because menthe is feminine au lait, because lait is masculine, aux carottes (plural) etc...

[@jackfavvv]

Learn French with Pascal I see. So would Cheese Bread be, Pain AU Fromage then? My friend said it was, Pain DE Fromage and I'm not sure which is correct.

[@Frenchspanishonline]

***** you are right, pain au fromage or sandwich au fromage

[@jackfavvv]

Thanks for the help. Best French teacher on YT!

[@Frenchspanishonline]

Very useful thank u

[@ramikla_047]

Les croissants aux amandes sont très délicieux

[@QuinnyTran]

so from what I could understand from your video , À = "a " in english and De = " The " in english . Am I right ?

[@Feri-gb3gl]

Thanks a lot:))

[@Dremezy027]

Im confused to your au second example wich is "my foot hurts." So do i just use au before every masculine word?

[@Frenchspanishonline]

MarkP before all masculine words starting with a consonnant, as 'au' is the contraction of 'à le'

[@Dremezy027]

Learn French with Pascal but where im confused at is that there is no "to" word in " my foot hurts" example. So my question is how "au" contraction was used in there. Many thanks.

[@Frenchspanishonline]

MarkP the thing is that some verbs are prepositional in French and not in English and viceversa, so to hurt means avait mal à (au) or faire mal à (au)

[@Dremezy027]

Learn French with Pascal thank you for that very useful information. The confusion is gone lol. Cheers! 👏

[@kirtiupadhyay6992]

Why should use au in pied?? Sir

[@lucyespila3401]

Thanks for this!!!
