Lack of pas in written languageI have quite often noticed that pas or other negative word is missing in written French, in newspapers and in books. I don't have an example at hand, though. Why is this and when can it happen?

"You must clean their room"Bonjour, I understand that using "Il faut" + infinitive is very formal, but if I want to express "You must clean their room" I believe this would be "Il te faut nettoyer sa chambre". Or, to sound less formal, would it be more common to say "Tu dois nettoyer sa chambre" ? Merci en avance ! Kathy

aimer vs. aimer + bien

Is there any reason the lesson uses only aimer to mean "like" for J'aime lire but then uses aimer + bien for "like" in Vous aimez bien vous promener ?

I thought aimer meant love if bien wasn't added. Thank you!

Noun inside the negation?In one of the questions on an exam, the correct answer was "Il ne voit Julie nulle part". Why is Julie included in between "ne" and "nulle part" while a sentence like "Il ne voit pas Julie" has Julie outside of the negation?

When to use dernier and when to use passe

I'm unclear on when to use dernier and when to use passe and this lesson doesn't address that. I hear la semaine derniere and la semaine passe.
