Questions & Answers about Il n'y aura pas de technologie parfaite dans l'univers.
How do we get 'aura' from 'il y a'?
Why is it 'pas de' instead of 'pas une' before 'technologie'?
This is a strict rule in French: when a sentence becomes negative, indefinite articles like un or une change to de. So, even though we might say 'not a perfect technology' in English, French requires pas de technologie.
Why does parfaite come after technologie?
Why does the sentence use l' in dans l'univers?
English often drops articles after certain prepositions, but French almost always requires an article before a noun. Here, you must use the definite article l' before univers, even right after the preposition dans.
