Il n'y a personneHi - in the Kwik kwiz one of the answers includes the construction Il n'y a personne. Why is it Il n'y a personne and not Il y n'a personne? The lesson doesn't explain it. Thank you.

This is a long, tough lesson!!I’m having a lot of trouble with this lesson. Can you provide parallel examples of ways to say the same thing with “le jour précédant /précédent / le lendemain” and explain exactly what you mean by the rule that some phases can only be used “on their own.” Also, it is unclear whether the plus que parfait is required or whether the passé composé can be used following a phrase. La veille, nous avions découvert la verité. (example) Are these correct? Nous avons découvert la verité le jour précédent. Le jour d’avant, nous avons découvert la verité. Nous aurions dû découvrir la verité la veille de son mort. Nous aurions pu découvrir la verité le jour précédent, mais nous avons raté les indices. Il a découvert la verité la veille de son mort. I know that's a lot. Thanks for any guidance.

The example for dropping 'ne' explétif in speechThe example in the remark near the end of the lesson does not have a negation in the main verb, so it wouldn't need 'ne' explétif. In fact, it's exactly the same phrase that was used in the first example in this lesson: Il est venu sans que tu le saches.
