Hi @philippehenri, thanks for reporting these! We will make sure they're detected asap.

Some of those sentences seem "unrealistic" in the sense that I (a) don't see many people making that mistake, and (b) don't see how it could be automatically corrected. Example:

Je suis allé manger dormi dansé au cinéma.

Did he go eat, sleep, and dance at the cinema? Or did he go eat, sleep, dance, and to the cinema? I am thinking how a non-human algorithm could tell the difference. We can make sure a series of infinitives are separated (except when they shouldn't be (Je vais devoir aller voir)), but including compatible compléments circonstanciels (except when they shouldn't be included (Je suis allé manger dormir danser à la boîte d'à côté de chez moi)) is tough and requires world-knowledge in most cases. But we have some new AI stuff in the making that might do the trick.

Hi @udomai , Of course they are unrealistic, i made it on purpose. But in real life, If i edit a text, and rephrase it for example, I could easily end up with "Nous avons mangé déjeuné au soleil.", right? Which wont be detected !

From a user point of view, if a grammar system cannot detect my unrealistic examples... ouch... I am sure that you will agree with me :-)

Or at least detect a few:

• pp pp -> ?
• some exceptions with être, avoir, devoir, pouvoir, aller -> correct. But are there other cases when one can have v v v? or even vinf vinf or vpp vpp ?

hmm...
