Can I also say - Je n'ai pas d'idée. [I don't have any idea.], just like I can say -  Je n'ai pas de lait. [I don't have any milk.] or Je n'ai pas de sœur.

If not, why??

I've been taught this phrase in another course but never really understood its use -  ça y est. It was presented to me as one of those catchall phrases for "yes, that's right!", "yeah, that's it" as a somewhat utterance one makes to ones self (or to others) that you've been suddenly successful at something or an acknowledgment that you're at least on the right track. So I used this here instead of "c'est ça". Did I use it correctly? I actually had "c'est ça" first but then I changed it to see if I had actually finally found a way to use "ça y est" correctly.

(By the way, why can't I use the hold down the keyboard trick to apply accents, etc in this Q & A box? I have to admit it prevents me oftentimes from asking questions since I can't be precise.)

Can you please share the rule regarding placement of 'Ne...Aucun/Aucune' in Compound Tenses?? It does not seem to follow the regular rule. It would be great if it is also added to this lesson.

Can you give us a list of all vocabulary as an excel sheet or something? I'd love to make myself some flashcards instead of reading a list for using it with for example the flashcards app Anki. I won't share it if you don't want me to, but if you want to have the Anki deck then you can have it too of course.

I noticed that an example given above " Elles ne l'ont fait expres" means They didnt do it on purpose. Im wondering why it isnt Elles n'en ont pas fait expres. Doesn't en replace phrases after de? 

It seems to me in the phrase 

Je n'aime pas non plus certains supporters qui peuvent être violents ou même racistes

It should be either "violentes ou racistes" ou "violents ou racists".  If the reference is "supporteurs" , I would think it would be masculine, making the adjectives masculine.

The very first example given of when to use "c'est" is:

"C'est une jolie robe."

This clearly refers to a specific dress.

But then we are told that the answer to "Tu aimes mon pull?"  should be "Oui, il est très beau."

Why is the rule for a specifc dress different than the rule for a specific sweater? Is it that "il/elle est" should be used when answering a question about a specific thing but that "c'est" can be used otherwise? 

Can anyone please give few examples of [personne + de + adjective]?
