Question on an exampleJulie a vraiment envie de chocolat = May I ask why this does not read as du chocolat? Since it's le chocolat? Or is it because in this context, this refers to some chocolat - but even then I didn't understand why du gets dropped - wouldn't it be envie du chocolat?

I wondered why 'je vais me battre à' is not as acceptable as 'je vais avoir du mal à' for 'I am going to struggle'. Perhaps not as colloquial?

Ne . . . point and ne . . . pas

I read somewhere that ne ... pas and ne ...point were the first negative constructions in the evolution of the French language. I can just imagine someone trekking through the woods in Old French times and saying, "Not another step." Or a tired monk in some scriptorium copying over an illegible text and saying, "Not another period."
