The fourth rule for the positive article in French is for special expressions.
We can call them the expressions.
So there are four expressions that you can never use do dollar or day with you simply just say do instead.
These expressions are avoir besoin de avoir besoin de.
Which means to need.
Literally it means to have.
Need of.
Avoir en vida avoir en vida means to fancy.
Beaucoup de beaucoup de means a lot of.
And todo todo means too much or too many.
So you always put the noun straight after the dir and you don't change it to do dula or de.
So that's the four rules for the positive articles in French.
Let's have a recap of all those rules that we've been doing for the three different articles.
Firstly, the nine definite rules.
Number one, you use the definite article la, la and la.
Meaning the the same as we use the in English.
Number two, you use the words that in French when you're talking about something in general.
Number three, you use the word the in French when you're talking about likes and dislikes.
Number four, you use the words for the in French in front of countries and languages except when you
use the words do to say where you're from on to say in a language or in a country or partly to say you're
speaking the language.
Number five, if you want to say on Mondays or on Tuesdays or on Wednesdays, for example, you have
to use the word the in front of the day of the week.
So you say Lula for on Mondays.
Number six, when you're giving a date in French, you have to use the definite article.
Number seven, when you're talking about somebody by their title, then you have to use the word that
in front of their title.
Number eight, you use the definite article in front of body parts.
And then number nine was that group of set phrases that use the words lap or lay.
Then we have the six indefinite rules.
The indefinite articles were the words are un or de meaning and or some.
And the first rule is that you use them in the same way as we use an awesome in English.
Number two, you don't use them with jobs.
Number three, you use them with plural, countable nouns if you use the word some in English.
So if some is possible in English, even if we don't say it in English, you have to use the word de
in French.
Number four was the negative.
So in the negative, the word day becomes do number five with those special expressions.
And number six, if there is an adjective that comes before a plural noun, you have to use the word
in front of it.
And then we had the four rules for positive articles, which in English mean any or some in French or
do de la or de.
So number one, you use them in front of uncountable food and drink items.
Number two, you use positive articles in front of uncountable nouns.
Number three, you use the word der instead in the negative.
And number four, we use the word DER instead of the positive article with those four special expressions
that we learned.
