Is "Nous nous sentons", in this situation, just a matter of emphasizing the point?
The question asked: "Couvrez-vous la tete!" Write "Cover it".
I answered "Couvrez-la". It wanted "Couvrez-la-vous".
Can you explain why the Kwiziq answer is correct. I could see it if the vous was an indirect object but it does not seem to be. For this reason it is not similar to any of the examples in the lesson.
Is it because "la" refers not just to "the head" but "your head", i.e. "the head of you"
I have a point to make about the English. It involves a very common mistake. When using a gerund it should be modified by an adjective. From the examples above: It has been a day without him eating is not correct, it should be; It has been a day without his eating. He came without your knowing. I won`t leave without your kissing me goodbye. etc.
