Above it says that with a noun it should be:
avoir besoin de/d' + (article) + noun
but then below it says:
Verbal phrases like avoir besoin de don't use the definitive article (or partitive article).
These seem contradictory. If I want to say:
"You need flour"
Do I say: "Tu as besoin de farine" or "Tu as besoin de la farine"
Could someone please clarify with respect to both countable and uncountable items.
