Will this query ever be addressed or am I just not understanding the subtleties of 'leaving'?
The question is: How would you say "They are leaving soon"
From the list of multiple choice answers, I chose only one option: Ils partent bientôt
I am flagged as 'nearly correct' for not choosing : Ils sortent bientôt as well.
It is my understanding from everything I've read in the lesson and via the responses that "sortir" only means 'leaving' when used with 'de'.
