qu'il s'agissait de mon groupe de rock préféré -> it says europe and not rockqu'il s'agissait de mon groupe de rock préféré -> I even checked with google translate and it never ever said rock but d'europe. Can someone please confirm this ? Found other issues with this exercise as well, like eating up of alot of à and de. Why have it in the language if you are going to just eat it up, like having contractions weren't enough, now you need to eat them up as well?

Il faut

Why is "il lui faut de l'aide" - he / she needs some help and "il te faut de l'aide" - you must help? I am getting very confused with this expression!

car il est crucial que nous l'aidions à ouvrir les huîtres.

There was no audio for this part. I clicked on "play" and it changed to "pause" as expected, but there was no sound.

Il manque "de" or "du"?In the "Manquer de" section it says that we don't use an article so we'd use either "de" or "d'", but in the next section with impersonal structure the example given is: "Il manque du sel dans cette soupe." Since the soup "is lacking of" salt, wouldn't it just be "de sel"? Why would we use an article here?

Plus de VS. Aucun

Can I also use aucun here ?

- Tu n’as plus de lait. [You don't have any milk. / You have no milk left.]

- Tu n’as aucun lait. [You don't have any milk./ You have no milk at all.]

Do they mean the same?

When to use là and when to use y

In the last sentence, "I will go there to cheer you on.", the word 'there' is translated as 'là' and the use of 'y' was not accepted. Is it just a question of emphasis? I searched for a lesson to clarify the usage of 'y' and 'là' but was not successful. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
