Why not "se regardent pendant"?
This question relates to:French lesson "French reflexive pronouns can be used to express reciprocity - "each other""
Asked 1 year ago
Hi Davy,
"longuement" (for a long time) is the adverb modifying the verb se regardent.
"Pendant" in this context would be a preposition and I suspect that is why it was not accepted.
Hope this helps.
Jim
