Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will select the correct French partitive article form (de, des, d', de la, de l', du) based on a noun's gender, number, and initial sound.
Students will apply partitive article rules across everyday vocabulary contexts including food, shopping, and abstract nouns.
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 article selection — students choose among de, des, d', de la, de l', and du across 20 sentences, applying gender, number, vowel-initial, and negation rules.
