arriver, to manage, also uses être as the auxiliary verb?I answered the quiz using 'as arrivé' for 'managed', but it was marked wrong and this is the linked page. There are other verbs which sometimes and avoir and sometimes être depending on meaning. Do I correctly understand that with arriver it only uses être? Thank you, Terri

en plus vs de plus

What is the real difference between "de plus" and "en plus"? In this writing exercise, the English word "plus" is translated as "en plus," "in addition" is translated as "de plus," and "besides" is also "de plus."

aimer = love or like?I used to be on Duolingo, and whenever this question came up, the experts always said "aimer means love for people&pets, like for things". Laura Lawless' article agrees, with examples like "Aimes-tu le tennis? Oui, j'aime ça - Do you like tennis? Yes, I like it". But this lesson has aimer=love even for things. What am I to believe?

Écouter takes direct object pronoun?From the lesson: J'aime l'écouter. (I like to listen to him.) Écouter = to listen to Isn't this use of 'him' an example of an indirect object, and therefore, "J'aime lui écouter", correct? Unless écouter isn't a verb that's usually by à, but it sure seems that it is.

Soudain vs. soudainement?

In this example, I am wondering why soudainement is not used (adding "ment" to the feminine version of an adjective).

I am looking at this sentence and soudain seems to be used as an adverb/is that why no "ment". If so would you please provide me with an example where soudainement might be used? Many thanks.

On regardait les lucioles, et soudain toutes ont disparu.
