Pas mal de ...
Bonjour,
I've heard that one can use "pas mal de ..." to indicate "quite a lot", and I just want to confirm this is correct. For example: "Il y avait pas mal de monde à la fête".
Merci !
Kathy

Bonjour Kathy !
Indeed, this is correct.
You use the expression "pas mal de" (= quite a lot of) as a quasi-synonym to "beaucoup de" or "plein de" = a lot of.
Here's another example:
"Il a pas mal de BDs dans sa chambre." (He has quite a lot of graphic novels in his bedroom.)
À bientôt !
