Yes, you are correct! In the first sentence, the correct form of the partitive to be used is "du."
To arrive at this answer, let's break it down step by step:
1. Identify the noun: In this case, the noun is "fromage," which means "cheese" in English.
2. Determine if it is a countable or uncountable noun: "Fromage" is an uncountable noun because you don't generally measure cheese using a specific quantity.
3. Use the correct partitive article:
- For uncountable nouns, such as "fromage," the partitive article to use in French is "du."
So, the correct answer is: "Benoit va au marché. Il achète du fromage."
Now, let's move on to the second sentence:
1. Identify the noun: In this case, the noun is "poires," which means "pears" in English.
2. Determine if it is a countable or uncountable noun: "Poires" is a countable noun because you can count the number of pears.
3. Use the correct partitive article:
- For countable nouns like "poires," the partitive article to use in French is "des" when referring to an indefinite quantity.
So, the correct answer is: "Il achète des poires."
Well done! You correctly used "du" and "des" in the appropriate sentences. Keep up the good work!
