du / Je bois du thé chaud.
masculine singular form of the partative some/any I drink (some) hot tea.
non-count nouns (nouns whose quantity cannot be expressed by a number). Tu prends du pain tous les jours. / Tu prends une banane, aussi.
note that partitive articles are ONLY used with ___________________________. You have (some=partitive) bread every day. / You have a (a=indefinite article) banana, too.
some of an item
partitives are used to say that you want ____________________________, whereas indefinite articles are used to say that you want a whole item or several whole items
de, not any
partitives du, de la, and de l'also become ______________ in a negative sentence, its meaning then becomes _______________________
de l' / Elle prend de l'eau?
singular noun begining with a vowel form of the partative some/any Is she having (some) water?
indefinite article
the article des also means some, BUT it is the plural form of the ________________________ (some) NOT the partitive article
du, de la, de l'
the partitives follow the same pattern of contraction as the possessive de + [definite article] as learned in 3A.2: ___________________________
definite article
to form the partitive, use the preposition de followed by a _________________________. Although the words "some" and "any" are often omitted in English, the partitive must ALWAYS be used in French
some or any
use partative articles to express ___________ or _____________
