"... calls to mind ..."The "Il rappelle son ex à Maria" construction is like the formal English "calls to mind". Here, "He calls to mind her ex to Maria". (That would be bad English, but it's how I remember the word order.)

How do you use « ne.. pas assez de » when talking about a specific thing?

for example,

« I didn’t eat enough of the cake » - meaning a specific cake, rather than general cake. In this case, is it allowed to say

« Je n’ai mangé pas assez du gateau »

"de" or "des"

"Bonjour

Can you please clarify for me why the answer on 1 of the questions - see below - contains "de" before the adjective and noun?

"Ta soeur et ses amis ont de jolies poupées."

I would have expected "des" because "poupées" is plural.
