Taking Maarten’s sentence as a starting point “When 'on' can be replaced by the specific subject pronoun 'nous', adjectives agree with number and are therefore plural (only the past participle/adjective, not the auxiliary verb conjugation).”
My question is, assuming that we have decided to indeed follow the agreement rule, if the specific group that “on” refers to were all female, would the sentence then be “On était éberluées”? I.e. does the gender get reflected in the adjective in the same way that it would if we used “nous” and the group were all female (“nous étions éberluées”).
I found this exercise too easy to be a B2 level.
Does "avec eux" refer back to "réunions"? If so, shouldn't you use avec "elles"? Also, Je suis sûre qu'"elles" (meetups) pourront t'aider...
I was a little confused, as it suggested using the simple past tense, but also uses the past historic...something I need to make sure I understand in terms of the context!
depuis que j'etais petite pendant l'hiver, on a campe dans les montagnes dans le canton de Geneve.
We don’t know if ‘theirs’ applies to a single car they own or if they both own a car (assuming just two people), because we don’t know the context. So, I’d have thought that ‘les leurs’ is as legitimate an answer as ‘la leur’.
Is abricot not masculine? Why is it à l'abricot instead of au abricot? Thank you
This sentence is missing in the audio.
"Une délicieuse viande grillée"
I can't find anything in the rules for adjective placement explaining the placement of "délicieuse" before "viande" instead of between "viande and grillée.
