I’m guessing that the subject is that aspect of Anna’s personality which causes ‘you’ to like her. Therefore, since ‘you’ receive pleasure from that part of her personality, ‘you’ are the object.

Is that correct?

Thanks in advance!

Cover your head ! Couvrez-vous-la! OR Couvrez-la-vous!

The verb used is “se couvrir” but would ‘la’ precede ‘vous’ ?

Is it that “vous” here is a Reflexive Pronoun ? If so , there is a lesson stating at Kwiziq that reflexive pronouns precede direct object pronouns -

Position of Double Pronouns in French - Reflexive Pronoun + Direct Object Pronoun

I suppose that here vous behaves like an indirect object pronoun. Is this the justification?

Madame, please guide how to figure this out .

Merci encore . Cordialement,

Shrey.

Clarification of the tip about 'de'

This is in one of the green callout boxes in the lesson: "In this negative structure, you only use de or d' in front of a vowel or mute h." This really confused me when I first read it because it seems to say you shouldn't use either one if there's no vowel/mute h. I think a comma or parens would make it clearer: "In this negative structure, you only use de (or d' in front of a vowel or mute h)."

PC versus Imparfait

Why is is imparfait used in this sentence? L'écureuil allait plus vite que lui... I would have considered the phrase part of the story chronology-- not background/description. Or should I "translate" it as The squirrel was faster than him... since it is a comparison of speed? Merci?

Sarah ne faisait pas confiance à Thomas.

Does this sentence imply that Sarah trusts Thomas now? If I hear someone say 'Sarah does not use to trust Thomas.' in English, I would think that she trusts him now. Not sure about it in French.
