"Exceptions" and "Attention" Lesson sections not covered by Kwiziq testsI have a notebook and I have added these two lessons.
Un/une become de/d' in negative sentences in French (French Indefinite Articles)
Du/de la/de l'/des all become de/d' in negative sentences (French Partitive Articles)
I went through several rounds of Kwiziq tests and I only get tested on the basic rules, never on the "ATTENTION" or "EXCEPTION" subsections of these lessons.
I got a score of 100%, but it feels like The app should also offer me test on these other topics.
How can I get more tests for these exceptions?
Example of rules I have never been offered any tests
This rule does NOT apply to sentences using the verb être and other List of French "state verbs" - "verbes d'état", with which the indefinite article doesn't change:
OR
When you want to emphasise the meaning of ONE (un/une) - not just a/an - as in He doesn't have ONE car, but TWO, you will keep un/une in the negative sentence - here it doesn't mean no/any:
Not sure why de not des. The cited lesson suggests it should be des.
The preposition malgré is closer to despite, whereas the expression en dépit de is closer to in spite of.
I found this sentence a bit confusing as the pairs of words are described as interchangeable (and certainly are in English, apart from despite being a bit more formal) - does that "closer to" just mean that one of the pair is a single word and the other a prepositional phrase?
Wrong: Personne n'
Correct: Aucune n'
Any Reason why?
Thank you for your help

Hello, i am struggling to understand this construction: ces drôles de choses; ces drôles d'objets. Can anyone help with the grammar reasoning behind it or the link to a lesson on this?
Merci.

In the sentence, Moi, je préfère la bière blonde, Julien préfère la bière brune et Max ne boit que de la bière blanche, the speaker and Julien prefer LA bière but Max drinks only DE LA bière. Why the use of the partitf for Max ?
In the last sentence, why does 'de' precede amener? ie. why not "mon but est amener les gens..."
This is doing my head in... My grammar exercise book has:
1. Nous devons fermer tous les volets. -> Nous devons tous les fermer.
2. Elle va faire toutes ses courses au supermarché. -> Elle va toutes les faire.
BUT
3. Nous souhaitons recevoir tous nos amis pour notre anniversaire de mariage. -> Nous souhaitons les recevoir tous.
My textbook gives no explanation as to why tous/toutes comes before the object pronoun in 1,2 but after the infinitive in 3.
