The sentence to look up before attempting this exercise: 'ne rien attendre de moins' for 'to expect nothing less' ?

I used this phrase in the exercise as it is given as a guide and surprised that the wording used should have been 'Je n'en attendais pas moins de'. I find this misleading!

Bonjour Bobbie,

You're correct! In French, you can use "ne rien attendre de moins + que [ça/...]" but not just "ne rien attendre de moins". So, we've now amended this expression in the vocabulary list to avoid any ambiguity.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
