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."

Qu'est-ce qui te fait penser ça?D'habitude, quand vous avez introduit une nouvelle tournure comme <qu'est-ce qui te fait penser ça>, j'aime bien essayer d'utiliser soit <en> soit <y>. Dans ce cas-ci, où on se trouve soit <en> soit <y> au lieu de <ça>. J'ai du mal à trouver où on met les deux mots. Autement dit, qu'est-ce qui te en fait penser ou qu'est-ce qui te fait en penser ou peut-etre on utile <y>. Penser à ou Penser de? Peut-etre ce n'est pas possible d'utiliser ni l'un ni l'autre. Merci d'avance. Don
