Slump into ...

Frank C.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

In the sentence which begins as "As for Grandad, he would slump into...", there are several acceptable choices for "slump into", including s'effondrer and s'affaler. I chose s'écrouler based on a definition in Wordreference. This was not accepted. Should it have been?

Hi Frank,

The verb 's'écrouler' is not correct here as it is more to collapse.

Take a look at the following Larousse page for the correct usage -

Bonne Continuation !
