For example: "Marie achète du café"Le café is a location and a drink. Couldn't this sentence means both "Marie buys a coffee" and "Marie buys from the cafe"? How do we know when "de" refers to "from" and when it refers to "some"?‘Marie prend un café au Café ‘ would be ‘Marie is having a coffee in a Café.’ The use of ‘acheter’ can only mean she is a shop and buying some coffee. Think of what makes more sense in the context you, the exam, or the person you are talking with uses it. Sign in to submit your answerDon't have an account yet?
