Opposite pattern

Opposite pattern

Sorry to rehash this, but I find "follows the opposite pattern" confusing, as it really only applies to the use of avoir + demeuré, which is an intransitive use. Surely être demeuré remains (!) intransitive too, as it’s a state-of-being verb with no object?

Hi Anne, 

This lesson needed a bit of updating and this tip was left from a previous manifestation.

Thank you for pointing this out, it has now been removed.

Bonne Continuation !
