Notes: Remember that de plus a noun can be replaced by the adverbial pronoun en. For example, j'en ai besoin - I need it.

plus de conseilles: 1. With que - When using il est or c'est + adjective followed by que, the verb in the subordinate clause may need to be in the indicative or subjunctive, depending on the meaning of the impersonal expression:    Il est probable que David le fait / C'est probable que David le fait.    It's probable that David is doing it.    Il est possible que David le fasse / C'est possible que David le fasse.    It's possible that David is doing it. 2. Without que - In expr

When the impersonal subject is a real subject and the infinitive is used intransitively as a passive infinitive, you must use the preposition à:    Il est bon à savoir / C'est bon à savoir.    That's good to know.    Il est difficile à faire / C'est difficile à faire.    That's hard to do.

The French prepositions contre and dans are required after certain French verbs when they need an indirect object.
