LFC: The verb jouer
The verb jouer
As you may have noticed, there are certain words that go together.
jouer + de
Did you notice that jouer is always followed by du / de la / des and then an instrument?
Rappel de grammaire :
- de + le = du
- de + la = de la
- de + les = des
*Remember that the h in French is silent, so you have to treat the silent h like a vowel, which is why it is jouer de l'harmonica.
