De vs Du Sel"Il s'est passé de sel." Why "de sel" and not "du sel"? There's an inherent negation utilized by figuratively "going without" but not formal/grammatic negation via "ne...pas."

Someone loves xxx versus someone likes xxxSalut! Je me demande si on doit utiliser "bien" avec "aimer" pour signifier "love" vs "like" If you want to say someone loves something, as opposed to liking it, do you add "bien"? : Il aime bien sa copine. He loves his girlfriend. Il aime tes chaussures. He likes your shoes. I thought I remembered this distinction, but I'd appreciate someone discussing this! Thanks, Karla B
