Why was toi incorrect on test?
This question relates to:French lesson "Nous/vous/eux/elles = Us/you/them - simple cases (French Stress Pronouns)"
Asked 4 years ago
Well, the tirst person says "Us?" whereupon the second person answers, "No, not you!" (as in plural you, since it is also 'us', i.e., plural me.

Je vais à la poste, et eux, ils vont au supermarché
In this sentence why aux and ils both used whey they mean same thing

French speakers like to double up kn the subject. You frequently hear things like
Moi, je vais au marché.

@ Chris, actually "toi" could definitely be correct here, because the situation is completely ambiguous: It sounded to me like the second person is simply saying, "No, not you and me (us), because you are not included--it is just me alone."
