"Ils nous voient."

Translation: They see us.

[zoerodgers]

Both Il nous voit and ils nous voient should be marked as correct, as there is no audible difference

[Rolf383322]

Hurrah

[moorea11]

how do you AURALLY tell the difference between this, and if it were "HE sees us"?

[Sitesurf]

Orally, there is no difference between "il nous voit" and "ils nous voient".

[drockalgzemoser]

I guess French people get used to listening into the context of this kind of thing.

[magicflying]

There is no context here

[mattvdk]

Does "They are looking at us" not also make sense? When I peeked it said voient could also be "look at".

[Sitesurf]

It makes sense, but not the sense expected by verb "voir" = see (not look at/watch)
You can see without looking and vice versa.

[BaiShann]

I wrote this and it was marked correct: 'il nous voit" It can't be right, right?

[Sitesurf]

In dictation, there is no difference in sound between "ils voient" and "il voit". They are homophones and the system accepts the singular for that reason.

[Maria-Tita21]

Why not... They are seeing us
