One of the -RE regular verbs mentioned in the preceding link was répandre - to
spread or scatter. In a previous FAC mot du jour, essaimer was also indicated as meaning to spread or scatter. I gather neither of these properly describe what I have just done to some peanut butter, and that étaler would be more appropriate and less figurative than the other two verbs. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Repeating auxillary verbs - yea or nay?
Repeating auxillaries ie. I ate and drank - j'ai mangé et bu OU j'ai mangé et ai bu OU j'ai mangé and j'ai bu - apparently optional if it is the same auxillary in each clause, but mandatory if different auxillary verb or different auxillary use in the same clause (ie. être for être verbs v. pronominal situations).
