Tu fais du sport.

I think this means "You do the sport" right?

What does du mean? And why is it used here? Can't it be le instead?

Salut! If you read the posting I answered first (above this) and study The Partitive, you should find your answer.

Tu fais du sport. = You do a sport. (RIGHT!)
This is an example of de + le sport which changes to "du" sport.

Compris? (Understood?)

Mme
