Hi Gary,
Indeed expressions of quantity using adverbs have a 'de' before the nouns -
beaucoup de = a lot of ( many)
trop de = too many
assez de = enough of
peu de = few ( not many )
etc.
Hope this helps!
Hi Gary,
"to eat too many sweets" --> trop de https://www.wordreference.com/fren/trop
Look at the fifth usage down on the list of these adverbs.
Hope this helps.
Bonne journée
Jim
Is this also true for other expressions of quantities like quelques, plusieurs and de nombreux/nombreuse?
