Shouldn't the past participle agree with the subject in this?

Des artistes extraordinaires sont nés

Does envoyer a (with accent) take lui or leur instead of le, la or les? Thank you!!

I thought arrière was an invariable adjective...?

The answer “et j’ai toujours été très romantique”. Could you explain why this isn’t in the imparfait tense? “j’étais toujours…. ?

"Hi, "Les étudiants ont été accueillis par le directeur ce matin." Why not:- "Les étudiants étaient accueillis par le directeur ce matin." I've been pondering why the first is correct but the second verb construction isn't. I realise the Kwiziq sentence is presented in a passive voice but it seems to me to be saying "they had been welcomes by the director this morning" rather than "were welcomes". Any guidance gratefully accepted, Edward"

Hi. Twice I've been marked wrong when I omitted the "heures" when filling in the blanks for a library or such open from one hour to another. It appears that the computer isn't recognizing the section of the lesson ("between to times"). Why? Very confusing.

Not sure if question was clearly expressed!

The recommended translation for 'tiny hairy faces seemed worried' is 'de minuscules visages hirsutes avaient l'air inquiet' - inquiet agreeing with air rather than the subject visages.

Is it not also an option that it agree with visages?

I am looking in Larousse which says that the adjective following air agrees with the subject of the sentence if that subject is a thing and, often, with the subject if it is a person ('Elle a l'air sérieuse').

I wrote

Nous nous rencontrons

instead of 'nous nous rejoignons / nous nous retrouvons

is it fine?

merci
