Agreement of froid

Why is it not nous avions eu froids instead of nous avions eu froid. Is froid not an adjective here? In so many of the other examples there is agreement. What is the difference?

Bonjour Jennifer, No, froid is a noun in French, even though it's an adjective in English. That's why we say "avoir froid" (literally, "to have cold") rather than using être.

« Please add that when using the verb être the Partitive doesn't change I'm a bit confused as to when to use, "mal," and when, "mauvais," as they both mean, bad. »
