Agreement of Past ParticiplesHi,
I am under the impression that when conjugating a verb in the passé composé, the past participle will agree in the following instances:
When using avoir with a preceding direct object and using être and s'être. However, I have recently seen instances of conjugations of être/s'être not having any agreement.
Could anyone please tell me why this is?
For example, why is the following sentence correct?
Les conférenciers s'étaient juré de nous renseigner sur l'histoire.
Le genre s'était enrichi grâce à Ray Bradbury et à plusieurs auteurs qui se sont succédé tels que Stephen King et J.G Ballard.
I would appreciate any responses,
Thanks!

What's the difference in french between saying I took my exams and I finished my exams?
Unfortunately I make lots of mistakes in spelling and often do not answer a question. These can be caused by my clumsiness when using touch screen tablets. It does not necessarily mean that I didn't know the answers. Would it be possible for Kwiziq to introduce a filter which allows the learner to override these "mistakes". I make spelling mistakes using touch screen tablets I would never make when writing long hand. It seems that my keyboard skills are being tested not just my French.
Why is it when I asked to be 'kwizzed' on just this lesson, included in the quizz are questions from all of my 'recommended lessons'? How do I go about finding a quiz with just 'question word' questions in order to give me extra practise with question words?
Thanks for your help........Thirza
Pourquoi "Moi aussi j'aime les salades" Elle référence des salades en générale non? Pas les salades spécifique?
