Can one say, "Daniel habite à l'extérieur de la ville" to say "Daniel lives outside of the city", or is it wrong or odd? Also, when I was in school, we were told to use "au-dehors de" but you do not include it in the prepositions lesson. Do people use this preposition? It is in the Collins dictionary.

Can someone explain why sometimes you make a "direct object" do something and other times an "indirect object"? Examples:
Je le fais asseoir à côté de moi (direct object) - I make him sit next to me
Je lui fais sortir la poubelle (indirect) - I make him take out the garbage
Elle lui fait cueillir les fleurs (indirect) - She makes him pick the flowers
There has to be a unifying rule that explains this distinction. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
As per Danilo's comment previously, (~11 months ago) it would be helpful with the examples for parler/finir/faire/prendre to have both the translation for the present tense form (as currently is included) and also for the imparfait form associated. I had to do a double take on this too - the lesson is on imparfait, and I expected consolidation of the meaning of those conjugations in the section. Relatively minor but useful, I think.
Hi Dear Folk,
Do you how to say, "the very benefits" in French?
