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.
"avoir cours" would be "have class" vs "avoir des cours" which would be "have classes"
Context might help further clarify
De/des can vary a lot as we have a few concepts:
- "De" as a preposition, as in "of/from/about" etc
- "De la, du, des" as a partitive, as in "some"
- "De la, du, des" as the preposition "de" + the definite article ("of/from/about THE")
- "De" as the preposition "de" + the partitive (which disappears - "of/from/about SOME"
- "De" as in "[not] any"
- "De" as in "des" directly before an adjective (usually replaced by "des" in everyday speech)
Detailed lesson on when to use de by itself as opposed to du, de la, or des. - Lawless French
This should help
