Sorry to rehash this, but I find "follows the opposite pattern" confusing, as it really only applies to the use of avoir + demeuré, which is an intransitive use. Surely être demeuré remains (!) intransitive too, as it’s a state-of-being verb with no object?

Hi Anne,
This lesson needed a bit of updating and this tip was left from a previous manifestation.
Thank you for pointing this out, it has now been removed.
Bonne Continuation !
