hardly

[zhanabek525]

Hello, dear teachers!
I have started learning the word hardly and I noticed that we can use it before a noun. then I encountered some problems.
here are my sentences:
1. There was hardly a cloud in the sky.( I understood the meaning of this)
2. I hardly spoke any French.( I also understood the meaning)
My question is that
I hardly spoke French. ( is it correct? can I say so?)
There was hardly any cloud in the sky. (is it correct? If it is correct, is there any difference between using any and article?)
Thank your replies a lot.)))

What are you trying to say about your knowledge of French?

"There were hardly any clouds in the sky."

You have four ')' without an opening '('. We like proper punctuation here.
