French language Q&A Forum

On the quiz, I was given Je ________ un jouet!  and put voudrais in the blank. It was marked incorrect and veux given as the correct answer. I though you could use either. Why was voudrais wrong?

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

The verb “éviter” as was asked in a quiz stated-

Oui, évitons-.......... une situation embarrassante !

(Yes, let’s avoid them an awkward situation !)

The accepted answer stated - leur as opposed to les (answered by me)

So is it that the correct expression is-

Éviter à quelqu’un -> To avoid someone ? (Indirect object pronouns)

And then about things, would one say-

Éviter quelque chose -> To avoid something ? (Direct Object Pronouns)

Merci pour votre réponse!

Cordialement, Shrey.

I am a premium subscriber.  Why can't I take Kwizes more often than weekly or longer?

"ses" bougies (in the written text) où "les" bougies (in the recording)??

So are they synonyms?

Do these sentences only use être because they are using DRMRSVANDERTRAMP verbs?

How would you say  " in my last summer vacations i.........."

Thank you!

This query isn't really related to this particular topic but this is the lesson attached to the question so I'll ask it here.

Question: Personne n'aime le nouveau professeur

Answer: No one likes the new teacher

I thought when used with a person, aimer on its own means 'to love' not 'like'? Is 'bien' not necessary here?
