Notice how a few usages change in the various items we listed.

We say "le savon de toilette, le gant de toilette, la descente de bain, le flacon d' dentifrice, le rasior de surete et la serviette de bain."

However, we use "a" with certain items: le verre a eau, la brosse a dents, la creme a barbe.

And with still others, we only use the descriptive adjective: la pâte dentifrice, le papier hygiénique.

Learn each of these terms in their standard form. We would not say, for example "la pate a dents" or "le rasior a surete".

Try using each of the new articles you have learned in sentences you form yourself:
Ou est la (le) (les)...?
"On trouve" is used just as we do in English "We find". It is very helpful, if you are looking for something, to use "Ou se trouve?" "Where is found?"
Ou se trouve les..?
La (le) (les)... est (sont) ici.
J'ai besoin de la (du) (des) ..
Mettez le .. sur la commode.
Donnez-moi la..., s'il vous plait.
Les.. ne sont pas dans la....
