In this sentence "Tu as le courage de dire ça en personne?" why is "de" used and not "à"?
- Francês (França)
Parce qu'on dit "avoir le courage DE faire quelque chose".
On ne dit jamais "avoir le courage à". Ça n'existe pas.
Idem pour "avoir envie de", "avoir la volonté de", etc.

@Jean_Christian @Jef_Costello I saw this sentence online. Is it incorrect since "à" is used?
"Demain Jvais vous montrer la vue, j’ai que ça a dire …"
- Francês (França)
@unknown847446 : This last sentence is correct. But I notice that this is spoken French... If the first sentence was also just something someone said online, you shouldn't even wonder about it. Some people write thoughtlessly, so this is not a good reference for learning.
