Okay, srs question cos duolingo doesn't explain this at all.

Why is du sometimes used before a noun and not other times?

Like "We are eating chicken" doesn't have an article, but I have to use du anyway?

@spiderrobotpig Caveat: Not a francophone. 'du' is 'de le'. You never use 'de le' because 'du' exists. 'de' is kind of (not really, this is lies) like 'of', so when I say 'Je mange du pain', I am saying, 'I eat of the bread'. Why do I stick an article and a preposition in there when I don't in English? It is just an idiom. I don't say 'je mange pain' for the same reason I don't (generally) say 'I eat of the bread'. It just sounds weird. Hope that helps! Good luck learning French :relaxed:
