Jack and the giant

According to the notes, Jacques a descendu ... could mean he climbed down off the giant. I picked this answer, too, and it was wrong. Why? Thanks for your help.

This question relates to:French lesson "Descendre can be used with avoir or être in compound tenses depending on its meaning in French (Le Passé Composé)"

Hi Liz,

I think it is because the auxiliary verb for to get off something is ‘être’ and not ‘avoir‘ .

So the answer should be -

Jack est descendu du géant

Hope this helps!
