Accord with quel/ quelle/ quels/ quelles

Question

Hi , which is correct and whyQuels livres avez-vous lus ? OrQuels livres avez-vous lu?

Accepted Answer

Hi Hemlata,
The word 'quels' ( which/what) has no bearing on the agreement of the past participle 'lu'.
Here is the lesson on quel/quelle/quels/quelles for you to study.
Quel/quelle/quels/quelles + [nom] = What a [noun] (French Exclamative Adjectives)
The agreement of the past participle is with the object of the verb 'lire' and it depends whether it is in front or behind it, and that is covered in the other lesson.

Answer

Merci Cécile, but i can't seem to find anything specific with quel.  Can you share the link? The link shared by you is on community guidelines.

Answer

I think Cécile may have interpreted your question as outside ‘homework’.

It may be worth reworking the question - rather than a question about ‘quel’ (an adjective), it seems you may be asking about past participle agreement with compound tenses and auxiliary avoir in inverted questions when the direct object precedes the verb, but is not a direct object pronoun ?

A quite niche point obviously and I can’t recall having seen it specifically addressed. I think I know the answer, but not sure enough to put it forward. Perhaps Cécile might be able to clarify ?

Answer

Oh ok. I get it now! Merci beaucoup Cécile !
