4 Partitives Use partitive articles in French to express some or any. To form the partitive, use the preposition de followed by a definite article. Although the words some and any are often omitted in English, the partitive must always be used in French. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.

5 Note that partitive articles are only used with non-count nouns (nouns whose quantity cannot be expressed by a number). The article des also means some, but it is the plural form of the indefinite article, not the partitive. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.

6 To give a negative response to a question asked using the partitive structure, as with indefinite articles, always use ne…pas de. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.
