Obtenir or recevoir?
This question relates to:French writing exercise "My son's school trip transformation"
Asked 1 year ago
Bonjour Ian,
We've added "recevoir" as a correct alternative. However, "recevoir" implies a "passive action", i.e "obtenir" is used when you've actively asked about something while "recevoir" is about being "given" something for example.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
