i answered the quizz with “of it” and “of him”. but “of him” was wrong , yet “of them” was correct
what is the difference between ”take care of him” vs “take care of them”. one is right, one is wrong but they both relate to ‘a person/people’ not things.
he takes care of him right away.
he takes care of them right away
he takes care of it right away
Several times you have used "profiter de" to mean to enjoy. The dictionary I looked at defined profiter a to mean "to be of benefit to" and profiter de as "to take advantage of." Neither of these seems (to me. at least) to imply to enjoy or to take pleasure from. Why do you choose to use it rather than something like prendre plaisir de or some other more enjoyable-sounding term? ( Sorry, but the computer doesn't seem to respond to the holding down of letters for which an accent or other diacritical mark is needed, so my questions are grammatically incorrect......)
" You won't use this in Indirect Speech where whether = if. " Doesn't it always? I need a lot more examples.
