J'avais pourtant poster mes propositions a cet exo mais elles ne sont pas la.
Dans la liste, tu nous proposes 'come off', dans quelle phrase etions-nous senses le placer? Je pense a ca parce que selon, ca aurait etre:
Can you come off your behaviour/attitude? (tu vas arreter oui de te comporter comme ca?)...Pourrais-tu m'expliquer cette phrase stp? > Can you account for your behaviour?
Merci beaucoup!

PS: to end up +ING (sans 'by')
They said they wouldn't go but they ended up leaving.
