During the lesson it is explained to use lui/leur when you have the "à" before the object and to use la/le/les when there is a possessive pronoun before, for example:
"Il va appeler ses parents" --> "Il va les appeler"
So why using lui in this case?
question was write nine thirty so i put du matin and it was marked wrong, just nine thirty was correct. thought we were meant to specify. when i used 24 hour clock i get marked wrong.
what are the rules as im getting so confused.
In another lesson, it talks about not using mon, ton etc but using le, la etc. with clothing and parts of the body. Therefore, would it be better to say
"Le manteau est pareil, et la cravate est pareille " rather than "Mon manteau est pareil, et ma cravate est pareille"
or can you say both or does it depend upon context?
Thanks

It seems I am not the only one to have difficulty with these three concepts using rappeler. I get it wrong in every A2 kwiz. I think I need a simpler explanation. I feel brain-dead with it at the moment, so I'm going to leave it and come back later. That diamond is going to be elusive!
In the lesson below, it is stated that "se coucher" means "to go to bed"
Conjugate reflexive verb se coucher in the present tense in French (Le Présent)
However, when I wrote "puis il se couche" as corresponding sentence for "then he goes to bed" in the last part of the exercise, it was marked as a mistake and the correct one shown as "puis il va se coucher"
Could you please advise which one is correct ? or have I misunderstood something ?
I understand that "Gregory part pour les vacances." works and seems to match the following less example most closely: "Nous irons en Guadeloupe pour les vacances."
However, I don't understand how durant and pendant also work with this example. Can someone kindly explain it as I don't see how it matches the examples in the lesson. Thanks in advance!
