Is there really no translation of 'out of thin air' in French, ' 'Comme par magie' translates to English as ' as if by magic,' surely?
I needed to use falloir in the passé simple (don't ask lol) - the verb conjugation tables in Lawless say that it's il faillit, but other sources say it's il fallut.
