Les enfants croient tout ce qu'on dit

Question

Why is there no "en" or "à" in this sentence ?

Cécile Janty-Davies · Accepted Answer

Hi Beatriz,
This is a good question.
You could have an à after croire in this example but it isn't required which is very odd.

Les enfants croient tout ce qu'on dit = Children believe everything they are told as true
Je ne le crois pas = I don't believe him (you don't believe he is telling the truth)

Hope this helps!

Hi Beatriz,"Les enfants croient tout ce qu'on dit"  --> Children believe all that one says (or we say).There is no requirement for "en" nor "à"    --  Does this explain to your satisfaction?If not post again with your further concerns and we will try to help further.Jim
