"Because a lot of French have cars, there is a lot of car accidents." 많은 프랑스 사람이 자동차를 갖고 있기 때문에, 많은 교통 사고가 있어요. But to make it even more natural, you can say 프랑스 사람들은 자동차를 갖고 있는 사람이 많기 때문에, 교통 사고가 많이 있어요. Please note that in Korean it's more natural to say '~~가 많이 있어요' than to say '많은 ~~~가 있어요' :) 루 :)

Is it because it is inferred from the 어제 that makes it past? Would be also ok if instead of 춥기, I use 추웠기? sorry if it's too offtopic with the lesson haha... I was just wondering thanks!! oh.. a question…
