Questions & Answers about La visite du studio est prévue à midi.

What does du mean in du studio?

Du is the contraction of de + le.

So du studio literally comes from de le studio, but French does not allow de le together. It must become du.

In this sentence, de links visite to studio: la visite du studio = the visit of or to the studio.

Why is it prévue and not prévu?

Because visite is feminine singular.

The expression est prévue uses the past participle of prévoir, and with être, that participle agrees with the subject:

• La visite est prévue → feminine singular
• Le rendez-vous est prévu → masculine singular
• Les visites sont prévues → feminine plural

That final -e in prévue shows feminine agreement.
