Bonjour Patrick !
To say "You're *a* monster!", you also need the article in French, which is masculine to agree with "monstre":
"Tu es un monstre !"
As for "There is no hope", you need to apply the negative "ne pas" to the verb, as such:
"Il n'y a pas d'espoir."
See in the following lesson why the partitive article (*de l'* espoir = some hope) becomes d' in the negative:
Du/de la/de l'/des all become de/d' in negative sentences (French Partitive Articles)
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
