Actually, the reason is different for your two examples. - For "du beau temps", "du" means "de le". For example: du beau temps (= de + le beau temps) de la pluie The article is actually still there and is included in "du" when the noun is masculine. - But for your second example ("de nouvelles chaussures"), it's different. It's not the same case. We do not put an article before a plural noun preceded by an adjective. Examples: J'ai acheté des chaussures neuves. (adjective after the noun) J'ai acheté de nouvelles chaussures. (adjective before the noun) I hope it is clear. 😉 --------------------------

Hi there!

Thanks

Hi Annyta!

Oh excellent question.
Actually, the reason is different for your two examples.

- For "du beau temps", "du" means "de le".

For example:

du beau temps (= de + le beau temps)
de la pluie

The article is actually still there and is included in "du" when the noun is masculine.

- But for your second example ("de nouvelles chaussures"), it's different. It's not the same case.

We do not put an article before a plural noun preceded by an adjective.

Examples:

J'ai acheté des chaussures neuves. (adjective after the noun)
J'ai acheté de nouvelles chaussures. (adjective before the noun)

I hope it is clear. 😉
