"I have held a grudge against them."

[iLawrence]

Where is the grudge. Surely the given answer means wanted them.

[Sitesurf]

"en vouloir à quelqu'un" is idiomatic, meaning "hold a grudge against someone".

[formatrice]

Does the sentence need "beaucoup"...I thought "to hold a grudge against" was simple "en vouloir a' ," not necessarily "en beaucoup vouloir a' ." Is "beaucoup" necessary?

[Sitesurf]

In my opinion, "beaucoup" is optional.
