Question

Accepted Answer

Bonjour Jane,  Great question. The other common ones are écouter and chercher.

Answer

Merci Beaucoup, Laura:  I was confused and thought descendre fell into that category. 
Is there a way I can take the final placement test before I decide if I want to join.  I didn't realize I could only take 10.  My mistake, but I continued to correct my few errors without realizing the number was reaching ten.
BTW,  I love your website and don't know what I would do without it.  You offer so many ways to learn grammar plus interesting topics.  Don't ever stop!!

Answer

Descendre has several meanings - to descend, to go downstairs, to go down. So yes, the last one falls into the "preposition is included" category.
