Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

the lecturer didn't even mention any of this, but it's in the exam tomorrow.

and how do we distinguish rapidly whether a sentence is definite or indefinite, for example, is it always definite when there is c'est or de+(noun) in the sentence?

#

context is the main thing.
Definite articles are used for specific instances. (the in English)
Indefinite articles are used for any instance of something. (a/an in English)

#

"Margot a _ belle voiture"

You have to use a definite article if "belle voiture" is unique and you're talking about this unique thing.
Margot a la belle voiture -> Margot owns the pretty car

You have to use an indefinite article if there are multiple "belle voiture" and you're only talking about one instance of that concept.
Margot a une belle voiture -> Margot owns a pretty car
