not really a question but a request
could you include an impersonal in your examples such as the gas leak one becaue the il n'y ait threw me , not having given it due consideration. many thanks
This question relates to:French lesson "De peur que + ne explétif + the subjunctive mood (Le Subjonctif) = for fear that in French"
Asked 7 years ago
Bonjour Sue !
In this case, "il n'y ait" is simply "il y a" (=there is/are) + the "ne explétif", but I've now added a similar example to the lesson :)
Bonne journée !

Bonjour Aurélie,
I just came upon the same situation addressed above:
J'ai fait une liste de peur qu'il n'y ait un problème. ---> I made a list for fear there would be a problem.
However, the pronom «y» is not addressed in the lesson which I found a bit confusing as I was not anticipating «il y a» as being a part of the phrase syntax.
Perhaps that is on me for not reading it more carefully.
Merci en avance.
