list of verbs that require an indirect object pronounBonjour! Would the verb mettre & other verbs containing mettre (admettre; promettre etc), all require an indirect object pronoun instead of a direct object pronoun, please? Reason being that these verbs are followed by the preposition à. (I'm trying to make a list of all verbs that require an indirect object pronoun: "to him/her"; "to them") Cheryl

Hopping between l'imparfait and passé composéFrom writing challenge b2 week 62, this extract describes events in the past: La "navette" qui DEVAIT nous amener à l'hôtel ÉTAIT en fait un vieux bus de campagne cabossé dans lequel on A PU apprécier toutes les aspérités de la route." Why doesn't it stick to l'imparfait for all 3 verbs?

Don't suppose you could add the type of place in the questions?I would find it a lot easier on the tests if you would indicate if something is a city, state or region for example. Being from Canada the North American references are easy but the European not so much. Example Catalonia - had no idea it was a region until I googled it.

des efforts vs un effort ... ?I don't think this is a question pertaining to the subjunctive, however, it is something I am unsure about and which appears in this lesson. So I may as well ask here. "... fassions des efforts" - is translated as "... make an effort." But yet, "... fassiez des cookies" is translated as "... make some cookies." Why does one say "des efforts" rather than "un effort" to mean "an effort"? Thanks!!
