Cultural Tip
The expression 'plein de' is very common in spoken French and informal writing, but in formal contexts you’ll often see 'de nombreux' or 'beaucoup de'. Also remember that after 'plein' you never add an article – say 'plein de' not 'plein des'. Finally, the adjective 'nouveau' changes to 'nouveaux' before a plural noun, but it becomes 'nouveaux' even before a vowel‑starting noun (e.g., 'nouveaux albums').
