If no antecedent, which direct object pronoun?In these examples and on the B2 test, I think that if the gender of the singular direct object pronoun's antecedent is unspecified, the masculine «le» should be used. E.g., "I'm giving it to you." = «Je vous le donne», "I give it to him" = «Je le lui donne». The correct response in the lesson and on the test was to use the feminine «la» in both cases. ??

Vous avez passé votre examen

"Vous avez passé votre examen" according to google translate (and my intiution) means Vous avez passé votre examen.

But here it says: "You took your exam".
