French language Q&A Forum

I'm confused by the correct answer to this question:

>>La population du Nigeria est de plus de ________ personnes.

I wrote "un cent million de". However, the correct answer was "cent millions de".

Why do we drop the "un" in this case (unlike the examples)? Why is "millions" plural, even though it is only 1 million?

Why is there Mieux not Meilleur ?

I know one is adverb and other is abjective but I think adjective should work here too

The question is:We don't hate that she is therelà. Why is Nous  ne haïssons qu'elle soit là.

Why does "de" mean "in" here? 

BUT in the lesson it states:-

In the following cases, you cannot use sur (on) in French, but you will instead use dans (in). Street Ils marchent dans la rue.

In the case of the street, we see the whole environment as 'the street' and you're situated in it.

It seems that avenue is treated differently to street, is there a reason for this?

I see that some verbs that take de or à and the infinitive drop the preposition when an object follows the verb.  As an example, choisir de drops the preposition when referring to an object as follows:

Je choisis de partir

Je choisis la cérise

As opposed to rêver that keeps its preposition in both cases:

Je rêve de partir

Je rêve du paradis

Is there a rule for this?

In the question:  "Regarde! Elle bâille! Quelqu'un est ________ ."  I chose "fatigué", and was marked wrong, claiming I had put "bâillé", (which I didn't.) Why?

'qu'il m'a donnée pour mon treizième anniversaire.' - the link you provide with this question, 'special cases of past participle agreement with avoir' describes that, in passé composé with avoir, the past participle must agree with the object when the verb is preceded by a direct object, but also explicitly states that the rule does not apply to indirect objects. Is not 'me' in this case an indirect object (he gave it to me)?

Bonjour :)

In this statement: If there is a pronoun before the infinitive, ne pas precedes it.

Which pronoun are we talking about here? Direct or Indirect? The examples above exhibit both, so I'm a bit confused.

Merci :)
