Oh, that's strange. I thought the were the same, and translated it as "he endures" without looking, and it accepted it. Not that I'm doubting you, rather I'm just letting you know.

Not in this case. Remain is closer to "Rester" = Stay
He remains with her = He stays with us.
I'm sorry if I'm repeating something, I couldn't find this anywhere in the discussion. Dur is still confusing me, because if it's "he last's" wouldn't it be Il dur (no 'e')? This is what I inputted and seem to have gotten wrong. on the duolingo word list it doesn't show anything about conjugations, but is that why it has an E aftewards? Thanks!
Sweet, that's what I thought! Duolingo wasn't telling me the conjugations for Dure, so assuming I only have the word as an adjective on my words list. You can't look at all the words internally through duolingo can you? Or do they just pop up as you go through the lesson? Thanks again for the wisdom! ;)

Asutayb In this case last is an adverb, giving additional information about the position in the race. If he or she reaches the end of the race, he or she lasts the race, or rather he or she lasted the race, in other words he or she endured the race. The context of the sentence will determine the meaning of last, lasts, lasted.
