Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Choose partitive articles and other forms of de using noun gender, number and initial sound.

  • Apply de in quantity expressions, negation and other phrases in the supplied sentences.

Teaching tips

  • Review the gender and vowel-initial rules for de la / de l' / du / des before assigning the worksheet, since several sentences (10, 13, 15) depend on correctly hearing a vowel sound

  • Point out sentences 5, 11, 12, 18, and 20 as a set, since each uses 'de' alone after a negation — a common partitive rule students often forget

Skills covered

  • French partitive articles and other forms of de — students choose among de, des, d', de la, de l', and du across 20 sentences, applying gender, number, vowel-initial, and negation rules.
