"To be rich, one needs a lot of money"

Jim L.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

I don't understand why "Pour être riche, il faut avoir beaucoup d'argent" is wrong? Any ideas, please.

Hi Jim,

Thank you for your suggestion, we have added -

'il faut avoir beaucoup d'argent'

although the English would be -

you need to have a lot of money

rather than

You need a lot of money

Same difference in my opinion!

Hope this helps!
