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?

Hi, The question might not be completely relevant to this topic. While using direct and indirect object pronouns for them (les/leur) .We check whether a preposition is used to seperate the object to decide whether it's direct or indirect. But how do we know when to use a preposition (for eg- "a parle" (so we use leur), for "conduire" we don't use a preposition (so it becomes les)).

I see no difference between "he only ate sweets" and "he ate sweets only". I have only encountered " que" after the past participle before the object
