Above it says that with a noun it should be:
avoir besoin de/d' + (article) + noun
but then below it says:
Verbal phrases like avoir besoin de don't use the definitive article (or partitive article).
These seem contradictory. If I want to say:
"You need flour"
Do I say: "Tu as besoin de farine" or "Tu as besoin de la farine"
Could someone please clarify with respect to both countable and uncountable items.
Bonjour.
re. mal vs mauvais/mauvaise: Is the adverb "mal" used as an adjective with the copular verb être, to say "bad"?
For example, to say "good", do we only use the adjective of "good" with être (a copular verb): "Pierre est bon. C'est un bon homme." But, when saying "bad" instead of "good" with être, do we use "mal" (adverb) instead of mauvais to say "He is bad", but use "mauvais" when a noun is present? : "Il est mal. C'est un mauvais homme."
I find this topic confusing.

Can you please explain the difference between
Qui est ce qui
Qui est ce que
Can anyone tell me what the difference would be when using either penser à or songer à ?
Merci
