I've read all the comments here and in the related links, several times.
It seems the rule be stated as, there's NO gender/number agreement of the participle when there is a direct object following the verb.
Ça vous dit ?
Il est né un dimanche
Il est né le dimanche
Which one is correct? Can't we use indefinite articles with the days of the week ?
I want to understand the word order of a demonstrative pronoun AS AN OBJECT (whether or not it is contracted to ça). It was asked below, "Je l'adore" vs. "J'adore ça" but the point was missed in the answer. when ÇA is used as an object, it seems to follow the verb, but when le, la, or lui is used, the object pronoun preceeds the verb.
I've searched Lawless French and googled for this, but have not found anything that specifically addresses this nuance of word order. Please help!
In "et lui avait demandé où", isn't the subject still the author, so that it should be "avais"?
Can anyone explain why "rapidement" goes to the end of the sentence here. I placed it between "peux" and "regarder" as I thought adverbs went between an auxilliary/modal verb and the participle/infinitive. According to the solutions given this was the correct placing for "vite" but "rapidement" was placed at the end of the sentence.
A male sheep is called a ram in English and I thought a male sheep in French was a bélier? Is it that people in France call male sheep "mouton"?
Thanks for clearing this up because I was a little confused...
