Questions & Answers about La restauration du milieu forestier crée davantage de biodiversité.
Could I use plus de instead of davantage de in this sentence?
Why use milieu instead of environnement here?
While milieu often translates to 'middle', in scientific or ecological contexts un milieu refers specifically to a physical habitat or ecosystem. environnement tends to be used for the environment in a broader, more general sense.
Why does crée have two 'e's at the end?
This is simply the regular present tense conjugation for the third-person singular of the verb créer (to create). The root of the verb is cré-, and the standard -er ending for il/elle is -e. When you put them together, you get crée.
Why is it davantage de biodiversité instead of davantage de la biodiversité?
This is a great rule to remember from earlier levels: just like with other expressions of quantity (such as beaucoup de, trop de, or plus de), davantage de is always followed directly by the noun, dropping the definite article (la in this case).
