French language Q&A Forum

I am reading an easy french novel and am confused about the grammer in these instances:

Il ne vous reste qu'a (with accent acute) vous enfuir.

qu'est-ce que j'ai a (with accent acute) perdre

why is the enfuir not conjugated, and preceded by the a?

why do you need the a before the perdre?

thanks for your help

...in the following:

“et qui lui ont promis de lui montrer la vie...”

“et qui lui ont promis de lui faire découvrir la vie...”

Is this (a) a mistake, (b) just my ears missing the sound, or (c) a natural French abbreviation (a bit like “tu as” being pronounced as “ta”)?

Hello: Would the translation be the same for the above? I have looked through the discussion and am still not sure.

Merci!

Nous nous intéressons au sport. Nous nous yintéressons 

How would you say this in first person singular?

Je m’intéresse au sport. Je m’y intéresse. Is this correct?

Can you please explain when 'de' is used before a number in French? 

- La population a augmenté l'année dernière de 3,46,000 personnes. (Does it mean 'increased to' or 'increased by' here?)

- Le prix est de 500 dollars.

And, is there a general rule about using "de" before numbers? Please explain? 

In the first exercise of the day I answered ‘y’ instead of the correct ‘le’. In answering a question in the following exercise I entered ‘le’ instead of the correct ‘y’. Very frustrating! This, after reading both lesson explanations several times over the last few months. This is an observation, not a question. Not your problem, it’s mine. But may I suggest preparing a quick lesson that includes both pronouns. If it already exists please point me to it. Merci !

I read somewhere else that you always put the most important first, ie the thing or person that is missed, ie Jean manque à ma sœur ; my sister misses Jean , Jean lui manque ; she misses Jean. Is that a guide worth following?

What is customary for writing out numbers? Is it common to write "6" ans but not 8h30?
