De versus Pour with "for doing" expressionsI've used this expression on my French mentor several times and he hasn't corrected me: "Merci pour m'avoir appelé." I've also read and heard expressions like this several times: "Merci DE m'avoir prévenu." Are the words "de" and "pour" interchangeable in this type of expression? Many thanks in advance

"à moi" ou "de moi" ?

Bonjour tout le monde!

Je suis perdue par rapport à ce sujet.

Il y a quelques années une personne française m'a corrigé. On ne dit pas "à moi", on dit "de moi". Je sais que la manière la plus populaire est la première (et, normalement, c'est cela que j'utilise), mais je vais présenter un examen et je ne sais pas laquelle est correcte !

Voici un liens qui supporte cette déclaration:

MERCI BEAUCOUP !

"J'ai besoin de lait" Is 'de lait' actually the contraction of 'de + du'? (de+du=de)

Aime bien vs. AdorerI don't understand when to use aime bien vs. adorer. She likes sweets very much was marked wrong when I picked Elle aime bien les bonbons, but there is some subtle nuance for why that should be adore instead, I just do not see it in the lesson

Rien de and quelque chose The question used rien d' but the lesson is about quelque chose de. Does the same rule apply to no thing as to some thing?

I'm a bit confused as to whether to use Tout le monde as a singular or plural word:

"Tout le monde va dormir"

"Tout le monde vont dormir"
