Hi CrystalMaiden,
Do you mean:
"Il n'y a guère de monde" ="There's hardly anyone here". ?
I heard about ne guère de monde, what's the distinction there?

This question relates to:French lesson "Ne … guère = Hardly ever (French Negations)"
Asked 5 years ago
You would use 'guère' in an answer (without the ne).
e.g.
Aimez-vous l' art moderne? - Guère (meaning not really).
But it does sound a bit stilted...

Yes, what makes it different from guère, since it can be used in the same situations?
