Is avoir à a possible alternative to devoir?
Can avoir à ever be used instead of devoir? For example j'ai à vous remercier instead of je dois vous remercier.The subject text was part of a recent pronouns exercise.
As I understand it the use of the imperative voice was being tested and I wrote "évitons-les" which was incorrect and the correct answer was "évitons-leur" .
I don't understand this because the verb éviter is transitive not intransitive?
I would like to understand why the correct answer is not évitons-les?
