That day you kept your word - test question
Hello, based on the lesson, it would appear that an article or a possessive adjective is either required or at least optional but i was marked incorrect for the answer:Ce jour-là tu as retenu la parole.
and the only accepted answer was:
Ce jour-là tu as retenu parole.
Could someone advise on why the former is incorrect? Is it idiomatic?
thanks
