more than one possible answer for this?

Question

«C'est le livre de Paul.»  This one was tricky. Could this have also been  "A book about Paul"  AND "A book from Paul"?

Maarten Kamp · Accepted Answer

Di,
‘ C’est le livre de Paul ‘ does not translate as ‘ a book about Paul ‘. 
You could use ‘ le livre sur Paul ‘ as a translation of ‘ the book about Paul ‘.
I can understand your confusion trying to distinguish between the 2 responses ‘ Paul’s book ‘ or ‘ book from Paul ‘ - without context, without explanation in the lesson and with standalone phrases to choose between, I think this is a poor choice to present.

It can also mean "Paul’s book" in the sense that Paul wrote it (Chris W alludes to this further down the thread, it’s also in one of the links above)

Agree Anne. I took this as a given from the wording of Di’s question - it is the only answer marked as correct by the bot, I think.
