Salut! Pouvez-vous m'expliquer la phrase suivante?

Les filles aiment ________________ yeux.      The girls like your eyes.

Why is my "bien tes" answer marked as incorrect, and the correct answer as aiment. The girls like his eyes, they don't love his eyes.

Thank you 

Could you use "chez nous" instead of "à la maison" to translate "home" ?

Thanks so much for the link Chris. Unfortunately I could not find "avoir" in this list. Should it be added, or am I misinterpreting something?

Why is laisser included in the following? : -

Hi.  The lesson is correct but fails to really make the point that the construct "manque à" should not be used with indirect objects.  There are numerous online aides that will accept (or even suggest) "manque à lui", so trying to get clarity by searching the web does not help (in fact it hurts).  Please make the lesson clearer by including a negative example, such as "Note that ... manque à lui ... is not correct usage.  Indirect objects come before the verb.  Nouns may come after the verb using the construct "manque à".  I had to work way too hard to finally understand the rules.  The lesson is correct but does not explicitly exclude using the indirect object after the verb.

Hi. I'm wondering about the sentence Elles ne se sont pas rasees cette semaine./ They didin't shave this week.  You would normally associate shaving with men, not women as in your example.  Wouldn't it be  better to change the subject of the sentence to ILS ne sont pas rases cette semaine, and a week being a long time to go without shaving, the end could be 

ce  matin, not cette semaine. and you would get a nice sentence 

They (men) didn't shave this morning.
