I'm confused by the correct answer to this question:
>>La population du Nigeria est de plus de ________ personnes.
I wrote "un cent million de". However, the correct answer was "cent millions de".
Why do we drop the "un" in this case (unlike the examples)? Why is "millions" plural, even though it is only 1 million?
'Personne n'a pas son billet.' is incorrect because of the 'pas'. Can you explain why this is so?

I'd been following his career since the release of C.R.A.Z.Y. in 2005.

J'avais été suivi sa carrière depuis la sortie de C.R.A.Z.Y. en 2005
May I suggest that it would be useful to include this link with the list of related grammar and vocab. It explains how Quebec is treated as a country rather than a province, ie. "au Quebec" rather than "dans le Quebec."
En/Dans = in/to + regions/states/counties (French Prepositions)Quand j'ai recherche "French-Canadian" dans le dictionnaire, (Collins- online), j'ai trouve: "Canadienne-Francaise". Peut-etre l'allusion aurait ete, "from Quebec" ou "Quebecois" ?
J'ai ecrit, "...elle peut chanter". Est-ce que cette phrase est aussi bonne que "...elle sait chanter" ? Je dois dire que je trouve que c'est une belle phrase: "...elle sait chanter" !
I am going to go and I will go seem the same in English. Can they be used this way in French? Is it a matter of preference?
