Le contexte… Depending on the context, definite, indefinite articles or partitive articles may be used, for example: – Je commande la glace. I am ordering the ice cream (on the menu). – Je commande une glace. I am ordering an ice cream (= one serving). – Je commande de la glace. I am ordering (some) ice cream. There’s extra help with this in netschool in the powerpoint called, “Which article do I choose?”

Des petits trucs à ne pas oublier… un change to… de d’ after a negation such as… ne…pas une ne…rien des ne…jamais du de la ne…plus de l’ First…. And…. You cannot use a PARTITIVE article for a subject, you would usually use the DEFINITE article. Example: NO! Du lait et du jus sont dans le frigo. NO! YES! Le lait et le jus sont dans le frigo. YES!
