According to the notes, Jacques a descendu ... could mean he climbed down off the giant. I picked this answer, too, and it was wrong. Why? Thanks for your help.

Jack and the giant
This question relates to:French lesson "Descendre can be used with avoir or être in compound tenses depending on its meaning in French (Le Passé Composé)"
Asked 5 years ago
Hi Liz,
I think it is because the auxiliary verb for to get off something is ‘être’ and not ‘avoir‘ .
So the answer should be -
Jack est descendu du géant
Hope this helps!
