TIP: Remember that because of the auxiliary être, the past participle must agree with the subject of the verb.Bonjour,
According to the following cases, there are some cases in which there is "no agreement with the subject" (either the agreement is with the object or there is no agreement at all):
- If no direct object complement (DOC), then agreement with subject (elle s'est brûlée);- If DOC before verb, then agreement with DOC (les doigts qu'elle s'est brûlés);
- If DOC after verb, then no agreement (elle s'est brûlé les doigts);
- If body parts are with à, then no DOC, then agreement with subject (il s'est brûlé aux doigts; elle s'est brûlée aux doigts; ils se sont brûlés aux doigts; elles se sont brûlées aux doigts)
Am I correct or I am missing sth? Thank you very much.

Not really related to the lesson at hand, but in the example, isn’t besoin supposed to be followed by de?
Les chaussures dont tu as besoin sont dans le placard
Est ce que la france va pouvoir gagner la coupe du monde sans Mbape?
I was marked wrong for typing the latter response. Is this because the subject (nous) does not change? Therefore the second part of the sentence must remain in the infinitive?
It appears that you have altered the sensitivity of the-- Next lesson box, in all exercices
A click used to operate from anywhere in the box - now only in the bottom area..
Would it be possible to make the whole box sensitive to a mouse click.
Thank you for help'
Cette sculpture est la plus belle ...
Please could you explain why 'que vous ayez jamais vue' is not accepted, when the English states 'this sculpture is the most beautiful you have ever seen'. There is no Hint to say whether the 'you' should be 'to a friend' and the only French answer accepted is 'que tu aies jamais vue'. Merci!
It says here that we don’t use en for de + people, but we use stress pronouns. I know when to use EN, but sometimes I struggle to decide whether to use stress pronouns or COI, because they are both for people, and COI is for indirect objects, so basically it can be used for verbs with DE as well? I know few examples where we always use COI, like parle de, penser.. but, other than that I am never sure.Thanks
So how do we use " dans" "en" "à" like they got the same meaning so I'm very confused
I know it must be my ear, but, having listened to it over and over, it seems the speaker says "mais cera n'est pas obligatoire."
