Shouldn't it be "Ne manges pas ça!"

Ne... pas encore + article

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

A sentence came up while I was reviewing the lesson-

Il a déjà acheté un nouvel appartement.

To form the negative, I think it should be-

Il n’a pas encore acheté de nouvel appartement.

I had read the rule in the following lesson that “un” changes to “de” in negative sentences-

Un/une become de/d' in negative sentences in French (French Indefinite Articles)

But, will “un” change to “de” in this negation ? Because, there is an adjective after “un” ?

Is this an exceptional case where the above mentioned rule does not apply as it happens for “Verbs of State” ?

Merci en avance ! Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!

À bientôt !

On est passé(s)

In the question "On ________ passé par là?", should there not be an 's', in this particular case, at the end of passé?

Hi - there are a few questions regarding de vs du - but none with answers.

I would like to understand - why in this sentence it is du soir and de soir.

Nous profitons ainsi de la douceur du soir.

... aller aux toilettes

I don't know if I'm missing something but the quiz said that you could acceptably translate "I need to go to the toilet" as "J'ai envie d'aller etc..."

Surely that's wrong - wouldn't you only use that form of words if you were expressing a desire to go to the toilet, but not a need? (Admittedly, I can't think of a circumstance where you'd say 'I really feel like a visit to the toilet right now ..!')

tes or ton possessive adjectivesIn the quiz a question is mentioned as: Tu prononçais mal tes "s". "s" being one alphabet it may be said as "ton". Hope It is right.

Quoique Leçon?"J’étais un peu surpris que les leçons au sujet des conjonctions de subordination n’aient aucune discussion de quoique or de quoi que. J’ai reçu un mail de françaisfacile.com avec un petit leçon au même sujet et je l’ai recherché ici mais je ne l’ai trouvé nulle part. Trop rarement utilisé?"
