Let’s look at some more examples.

Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.

Mark Lee: Avez-vous du lait ?

Paul Petit: Avez-vous du sucre ?

Pauline Petit: Avez-vous de la confiture ?

Lya Mercier: Avez-vous des pommes ?

Did you notice how the pattern changed?

Lya Mercier: Avez-vous des pommes ?

"Do you have any apples?"

Lya Mercier: Avez-vous des pommes ?

Let’s start with pommes, "apples." Pommes (enunciated). Pommes.

Instead of a singular, the plural is used, because the word for "apple" is countable in French.

In French, all nouns have grammatical gender and are either singular or plural. Pommes is masculine and plural — a fact which will determine the form of other words in the sentence.

Before pommes is the article des.

Des is masculine and plural to agree with pommes.

All together, Avez-vous des pommes ?

"Do you have any apples?"

Avez-vous des pommes ?
