list of verbs that require an indirect object pronounBonjour! Would the verb mettre & other verbs containing mettre (admettre; promettre etc), all require an indirect object pronoun instead of a direct object pronoun, please? Reason being that these verbs are followed by the preposition à. (I'm trying to make a list of all verbs that require an indirect object pronoun: "to him/her"; "to them") Cheryl

Jusque and Jusqu'à

Is there any logic why jusque is sometimes followed by à and sometimes not? Like here it's jusque-là but otherwise you've got something like jusqu'à maintenant...?

Quelques-uns/unesI don''t see the use of these pronouns but have come across them elsewhere. Do they serve as indefinite pronouns? In which contexts might they be used? Perhaps a lesson on these?

How do we express "to make someone late?"The Week One B2 writing challenge used "mettre" rather than "faire" to say when something (a taxi) made me late ("m'a mis en retard"). Is there a lesson with some examples on using mettre? Thanks.

Both fortement and fort can be used as an adverb

Hi Kwiziqers! Marc a une forte personnalité. Il défend ___ ses opinions.

Why only fortement is correct? Fort can also be used an adverb.

Je devais vs j'ai dûI though devoir in imparfait meant "was supposed to" and in passé composé meant "had to" so shouldn't it be "j'ai dû me lever plus tôt"?

How about aider? Would one say Aidez-lui or Aidez-le? I've seen it both ways.
