Rappeler structure of explanation

The explanation of this concept has bothered me for a long time as the very first person/object is ignored and the lesson deals basically with the structure after ‘rappeler’ but what about the Il in Il rappelle son mari à Alice? It would be helpful to say He reminds Alice of her husband. Three persons are involved here the person who does the reminding, Alice and her husband.

Bonjour T,

We agree with you and we've made changes to help clarifying all the elements in the structure.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
