Hi, 

Thanks,

Bonjour !

While studying, I've found a sentence which drives me crazy for the last few days... I've been googling and reviewing my notes and Kwiziq's lessons, but I couldnt find a clear answer... Hope someone can help me out.... 

This is the sentence: " J'ai fait passer les coordonnées de tout le mond." And according to the source where I found it, the english translation of the sentence is this : "I've circulated everyone's contact details."

Based on the translation, I dont get it why "faire passer" is used instead of "passer".  In my understanding, the word "passer" is also a transitive verb with a meaning "pass on/ hand over".

Would it be wrong if I use "J'ai passé" ? 

I would much appreciate any response or explanation !
