French language Q&A Forum

It is a negative sentence, not affirmative, nor a question, so would "personne" be the correct translation? If so, how would you translate the sentence to convey the meaning of "not just anyone meets her standards"? Is there an idiosyncratic French expression for this?

Cheers,

Est-ce la phrase  "Dans la serre, il y a plus de sept-cent papillons exotiques" correcte ?   on n'écrit pas sept-cents ?

Je____(passer)(passé composé) un mois à Rouen.

Will we consider it direct object and will auxillary change to avoir

The first hint ("they're a couple") could mean a couple talking to each other (as intended, so tu) or that a couple is being addressed (e.g. by a realtor, so vous). It tripped me up!

lists all lessons connectes to piece but no vocab

The lesson doesn't say if it's okay to replace the pronouns un & autre with subject nouns. E.g  for: 'Neither Julien nor Sophie can come.' can you say 1) 'Ni Julien ni Sophie ne peuvent venir.' ? or do you have to say 2)'Julien et Sophie ne peuvent venir, ni l'un ni l'autre'  or how about 3) 'Ils ne peuvent venir, ni Julien ni Sophie.' ? Or are all three okay?

I'm inferring from the context that "clou" here means something like "highlight" or perhaps "grand finale", but I was unable to anything like this sense in the reference materials that I have on hand. "The nail of this stay" doesn't make a lot of sense to me, so I figure it has to mean something else.

Help in sorting this out will be appreciated.

Is there a lesson on this apparent "être + [date]" phase? Can I say "je suis 2 décember" seemingly meaning "today is 2 December"? 

Cannot find anything on this topic on the Internet :( Thank you!
