Point de départ
The verbs prendre (to take, to have) and boire (to drink),
like être, avoir, and aller, are irregular.

The forms of the verbs apprendre (to learn) and
comprendre (to understand) follow the same pattern
as that of prendre.

Partitives
Use partitive articles in French to express some or any.
To form the partitive, use the preposition de followed
by a definite article. Although the words some and any
are often omitted in English, the partitive must always
be used in French.

Note that partitive articles are only used with non-count
nouns (nouns whose quantity cannot be expressed by
a number).
The article des also means some, but it is the plural form
of the indefinite article, not the partitive.
