It seems to me that "de" is used when the subject has a somewhat more passive role, where "a" is used when the subject has a more active role.

No idea if you read old comments, but i'll try anyway. What is the difference between using à when talking about the purpose of an object(from lesson 14), and using de when describing the use of something. They seem a bit similar to me. For example, why is it not 'Des chaussures à sport' because the purpose of the shoes is to be used for sporting. Thank in advance to anyone helping me out :) and by the way i absolutely adore you lessons, i'm learning alot!

A very thorough video, bravo. The verb "commencer"...à or de + infinitive? They both sound right to my ear, and in fact I watched a video from another teacher who said there is a subtle difference between the two prepositions after commencer. Alors, qu'en dites-vous madame la prof du français parfait?

À la page 110 what is difference between “continuer de faire qqch” and “continuer à faire qqch”. Also page 107 how do you know when to use “de” or “a” to describe the use of something? Un sac de couchage, but un sac à main. Last question : does the word “vitement” exist in French? Merci.

@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane 2 жыл бұрын

Lucy les deux sont justes, tu peux choisir celle que tu veux :) For à and de, sometimes you need to learn it by heart, but other times it refers to what is inside. Un sac à main = the purpose of it (to be in the hand), if you say "un sac de pommes de terre", this is what is inside the bag. Just like "Une tasse à café" = the cup / "Une tasse de café" = cup + coffee Lastly, vitement doesn't exist but I wouldn't be surprised to hear it in different French such as Canadian French :)

J'ai une question.Avec la propriété et la préposition "de." Quelle est la règle/logique ? Il semble qu'avec les noms propres (personne spécifique), on utilise "de" et avec les noms communs (je veux dire, quelque chose d'un peu plus général), on utilise (du, de la, d l'). Par example: Le chien de la fille. Le chien de Dylane. Le vélo du garçon. Le vélo de mon ami. I've never heard anyone address the issue of ownership in French as it relates to proper and common nouns. Everyone just gives examples that use "de." . I hope I'm using the correct grammatical terms. I'm not sure if I'm even making sense. Cool dog/chien. J'ai eu six chiens et deux chats pendant de nombreuses années. Mon dernier chien est mort il y a deux ans. Maintenant je n'ai que du poisson. Merci.

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Thanks for the answer. I think of "du, de la," in the partitif article sense. Je veux dire "plus général et moins spécifique" Et ici, c'est logique. MAIS, avec "Le/La vs. Un/Une, cette logique est inversée. La table de la cuisine. (une spécificité). Vs. Une table de cuisine (plus générale). Oh well, I guess that's just how it is with a language... It isn't always logical...It just is, because that's how it is. All the "du's de's de l's de's," etcetera, have always confused me. I guess the time has come for me to actually TRY to learn ( i.e., study grammar) and not just listen to French songs and try to learn subconsciously lol, En tout cas, It's starting to make sense. Thanks again.
