in lesson 10.6 the discussion is in using verbs present & past & in the example they give lancer for "to throw". My question is: when is "lancer" used versus "jeter" - from what i can determine they both mean to throw thanks

Bonjour Vicki! 'Lancer' and 'Jeter' have very similar meanings. If you want to distinguish the two, you could think of 'lancer' as 'to launch' and 'jeter' as 'to throw'. You can use them depending on the context. I hope this helps! Marie :)
