les raies Manta qui nous ont envoûtées.

In this phrase from the solution to "Un voyage de rêve", the word "nous" presumably refers to a father, mother and children. So why the final "e" in "envoûtées"? I'd use "envoûtés" here.

Using inverting or est ce que

Hello,

I have a question. I understand how to use the inverted question when you have a vowel -t . But my question is is there an easy way to understand when to use either the Estimate ce- que or the inverted?

Thank you

Nicole

Quand versus où

In the first sentence, could it be où rather than quand, referring back to the 5:45 specified? If not, is it because où is only a restrictive relative, or something else?

Is it right to use excité here?>Les filles étaient tout excitées de voir le feu d'artifice.

I might be wrong, but I hear everywhere that "excité" has a sexual connotation in French, unlike in English. If it's right, I think it would be better to change the adjective here.

cette paire de basketsI was wondering how one would write "that pair of trainers" in French and when one wants to emphasise THAT pair and not THIS pair. In the above exercise "that pair of trainers" was written as "cette paire de baskets". Can one also write "cette paire de baskets-là" to be more specific?
