"La salade a des bananes et des fraises."

Translation: The salad has bananas and strawberries.

[ZhengKang5201]

I thought I should be the salad have bananas and strawberries

[n6zs]

Third person singular of "to have" is "has". It's singular because it is "la salade" (singular).

[Levi145125]

so I get it wrong if I put strawberries and bananas?

[Ariaflame]

Yeah, you do need to get them in the right order here to match because it's not an idiom.

"The salad has bananas and strawberries" would also be a correct translation, no? I get that it says 'des' so i should write 'some' but that doesn't really make sense in English. No one says "The salad has some bananas and some strawberries."

[DasaGauraN]

Is it really common to say this in French? The lunch has rice and vegetables. Le repas a du riz et des légumes. (?)

[Maria.Learning]

I do not hear the difference between 'de' and "des".there is not 'sont "or anothe word for plural.how can I make a difference between plural and singular?

[Sitesurf]

The difference in sound between « de » and « des » is the same as « « the » vs « they ».

The singular of « des » is « un » or « une » : une banane et une fraise.

[joshuakomarovsky]

Why do we need the article "des" in the sentence?

[Sitesurf]

Because "des bananes/fraises" is the plural form of "une banane/fraise".
