Answer:
The French expressions "du," "de la," "des," and "de l'" can be translated to English as "some" or "of the." These expressions are used to indicate a partitive or indefinite quantity of something.
- "Du" is used before masculine singular nouns.
- "De la" is used before feminine singular nouns.
- "Des" is used before plural nouns, regardless of gender.

- "Des pommes" can be translated to "some apples" or "of the apples."
