| Sep 20, 2018 at 4:19 | comment | added | Harry Audus | 'du', 'de la', 'de l'' and 'des' are truncated to simply 'de' in a negative construction. In English, it is also common to change the form of the indefinite article in negative constructions, from 'some' to 'any'; e.g. "I'll take some apples", and "I won't take any apples". | |
