"J'ai besoin de lait" Is 'de lait' actually the contraction of 'de + du'? (de+du=de)

De versus Pour with "for doing" expressionsI've used this expression on my French mentor several times and he hasn't corrected me: "Merci pour m'avoir appelé." I've also read and heard expressions like this several times: "Merci DE m'avoir prévenu." Are the words "de" and "pour" interchangeable in this type of expression? Many thanks in advance

What is the difference between plutot and assez?

"It's quite difficult but useful."

Why can't you use 'plutot' in this sentence?

Is 'assez' used for quite while plutot for 'rather'?

Rien de and quelque chose The question used rien d' but the lesson is about quelque chose de. Does the same rule apply to no thing as to some thing?

Plaire à vs aimer

Don't know about other people but I would really appreciate a section in the lesson on when to use "aimer" and when to say "plaire à". Great lessons individually on how to use these two expressions but not on when or why one is used instead of the other. Merçi!

I'm a bit confused as to whether to use Tout le monde as a singular or plural word:

"Tout le monde va dormir"

"Tout le monde vont dormir"
