Hi, in the question where

“J'ai épousé Marianne” 

becomes

“Je l'ai épousée”. 

Why “épousée”? The aux. verb is avoir, and we’re using a direct object pronoun, so I thought it should be “épousé”. 

It is the other way round, I think.

My aim is to speak French fleuntly

Bonjour,

If you can't say "j'ai d'autres chaussures", how then would you express "I have other shoes".

Merci.

What exactly does this phrase mean?  I translate something like "Like a good granny cake".  What is a granny cake?

I was asked in a C1 test to complete the sentence, " Après....., ils se sont perdus". After leaving, they got lost.

I wrote, "Après avoir quitté, ils se sont perdus". It was marked incorrect. Why?

In Latin and English a future active indicative sometimes acts as an imperative command, like "Thou shalt not steal." I'm curious if there is any parallel to this in French? Thank you!
