However, in their morphology, they behave exactly the same, meaning we have : « du » in the case of a masculine singular noun and if there's no liaison « de la » in the case of a feminine singular noun and if there's no liaison « de l' » in the case of a singular noun if there's a liaison « des » in the case of a plural noun.
