One very short line translation into french help

[mustafag32g]

Hey guys

I am supposed to translate this into french:

You often find clubs beside a bar

On trouve souvent des clubs à côté d'un bar.

Now my little question is, am I supposed to use les or des. I know that les is used when we are talking about specified objects or things, and des when we are talking about "some" things not specified.

So in this one, is it not des, because we don't know what kind of clubs, or is it les because we know that they are beside the bar P ?

Thank you

Hi!
Your translation seems fine to me. You're right, "les" would be used to talk about specific clubs, so it's not what you want here.
However, I would also use "des" for "bar" (who becomes barS), unless you talk about a specific bar.
Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.

Just a little question:

If i want to say 800 kg of steel

Is it not: 800 kilogrammes d'acier

Should I put a s so it becomes d'aciers ? I am a bit unsure there :-=

No need to add a -s after acier.
there is no 800 steel. but 800 kilograms of it.
