In the example: "I always liked you." You give the answer: Vous m'avez toujours plu.
I think it should be: Je vous avez toujours plu.
I know that the verb "manquer" uses a strange inversion of the subject and object, but I don't think that applies to "plaire". Does it??

He had been able to tell him in the end.
I put:
"Il avait pu le lui dire finalement."
My sense is there's an implicit "it" in the sentence, it should be: "I was able to tell *it* to him", otherwise the sentence is incomplete.
I know it can be omitted in English, but French generally seems to be fussier (or at least kwiziq is :-) ) about these things. Is this a colloquialism or is it technically correct?
Thanks!
