[i] sounds like 'midi'.
[ill/ille] sounds like 'fille'.
'Boire' (to drink) is irregular but has the same singular present tense endings as verbs like 'sortir' and 'venir'.
Uncountable nouns cannot be counted, only measured; they always need the partitive article.
In negative sentences, change the partitive article to 'de' or 'd'' before nouns starting with a vowel/h.

Always use the partitive article after food and drink items, even with negative sentences.

The partitive article changes to 'de' to say what you don't eat and drink e.g. 'je ne mange pas de pizza'.

[i] - pronounced as in 'midi'
[ill/ille] - pronounced as in 'fille'
Partitive article - refer to parts of things; often mean 'some' in English
Uncountable noun - noun which cannot be counted, only measured, e.g. (lots of) luck, (some) music, (1kg) rice.
