Is 'un pique-nique' really a packed lunch in French and not a picnic? Could you say "J'ai pris un pique-nique au travail" and it means some food that you took from home and ate at work? I always assumed 'un pique-nique' was really the same as in English, taking food from home to sit and eat outside somewhere in the sun.

Sorry, my question was incomplete. I was marked wrong for using "J' avais'l'habitude de ....."

Order of indirect and direct object

You have these two examples:

Ne la lui écris pas! (Don't write it to her!)

Ne me le donne pas! (Don't give it to me!)

I see the underline under me le but I don't know how to interpret it. In the first example you have direct object (la) then indirect object (lui). In the second example the reverse: indirect object (me) then direct object (le). Is there a rule here that I'm missing?

Thank you

For the translation of "he revealed to me what happened in France", the correct answer was: Il m'a révélé ce qui s'était passait en France. I had the two mixed around, using p.c. on "what happened in France" and the imparfait for he revealed to me". Please explain the rational for the tenses. To me he revealed to me is continuing actiona and what happened in France is over and done with.
