Why does one say "je vais parler un peu français" or Je parle un peu le français when un peu is normally followed by de. Even if languages are usuallyfollowed by an article, doesn't the un peu override that?

Is there a difference between "l'année passée" and "l'année dernière" or can they both mean "last year"? Thanks!

Avoir vs Prendre

This question relates to the use of avoir vs prendre in one of the test questions for the subjonctif linked to this forum.

Question: "Ils n'auront pas de dessert à moins qu'ils ne fassent leurs lits".

I thought when talking about having a meal or a drink etc. the verb "prendre" was used - not avoir?

Quelques-uns/unesI don''t see the use of these pronouns but have come across them elsewhere. Do they serve as indefinite pronouns? In which contexts might they be used? Perhaps a lesson on these?
