In the writing exercise "Recalling a Snowy Evening" you gave the sentence.
"The next day, we built the biggest snowman in the village" and gave a tip to use the plus-que-parfait.
I used the verb "se retrouver" for "end up" which I had learned in another writing exercise:
Le lendemain, nous nous étions retrouvés à construire le plus grand bonhomme de neige du village.
The correct response was: Le lendemain, on avait fini par construire le plus grand bonhomme de neige du village.
I thought "on avait fini par" meant "we had finished by" and "On s'était retrouvé" meant "We had ended up by"
Can you please clarify why the use of se retrouver was wrong?
Or if it was right, could you add it to the exercise as an alternative response?
Je vous remercie d'avance de votre réponse!
