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.

Why do I see people say "Quel/Quelle est la/le ........?" but in this exercise it is mark wrong?
Bonjour! When would one use dans for travel that is enclosed (i.e. bus, metro) vs using en? Thanks!
Some example please, in negative and questions?
As I understand it, dans can also be used when the sentence implies a future action but not duration?
Un jour on nous voudrons acheter une maison. Qui est-ce que le function de mot on dans le phrase precedent?
How far in the future are you supposed to use the immediate future, I just got it wrong because it referred to next Tuesday, that doesn't sound very immediate to me?
When/why do we use article définis before the Auxiliary?
is translated above as:
I guess a woman's past from the way she holds her cigarettes
I would have translated the French to read "I guess a woman's past by the way she holds her cigarettes.
