rappeler quelqu'un

Salut

This lesson is giving me more grey hairs! I get it wrong constantly!

On the test, you ask “How would you say "You remind him of Audrey Hepburn." ?
the correct answer is: Tu lui rappelles Audrey Hepburn.

My answer is marked as incorrect “Tu rappelles Audrey Hepburn à lui.”

But in the lesson you say:

Il rappelle son ex à Maria. He reminds Maria of her ex.

Elle rappelle sa sœur à Alain. She reminds Alain of his sister.

Thanks

Best, Laura

Seems like we're putting the verb before the subject. Why not "les panneaux produiraient"?

wrong translation in hint in the questionIt should be "The Lady in Black has haunted this house for centuries" instead of The Woman in Black has haunted this house for centuries for the question La Dame en Noir ________ cette maison depuis des siècles. "The woman" will translate to "la femme" whereas in question it was "La Dame" so it should give "The Lady" in hint translation.

the exercise about the new green car

In the exercise about the new green car with the brown leather seats, one alternate answer was ‘Ils sont fait en cuir.’ The best answer was ‘Il sont en cuir’. Present tense. Was the alternate answer in passe compose? If so, wouldn’t that be ‘ils ont fait en cuir?’
