French language Q&A Forum

Looking back through the Quick Lesson and the accompanying discussion I still can’t tell the difference between “none arrived” and “no one arrived”. Aren’t they just two ways of saying the same thing? (Albeit, the second being my preference.)

I used the subjunctive for the following:

La vue .... était la plus belle que j'aie jamais vue...... (subjective attitude?)

The answer given is "n'y connaît rien."   Seems to me this should be "n'y savait rien."   This refers to knowing how to navigate a lock.   Knowing how is savoir. 

Just to ask why it is "de conseils" , not "des conseils" ?

Is it because it is a continuation of "plein de" ?

I believe plein de is invariable, i.e. would never use des.

e.g. "plein de trucs" , "plein de choses"

Thanks
