conjugation in passé composé

Question

"Les pommes ? Anne les a toutes mangées."Why do you say mangées and not mangé, since it's "Anne a mangé"?Thanks in advance:)

Accepted Answer

Hi Nele,
Manger is a transitive verb and les pommes are the direct object, pommes being grammatically feminine.
So we have the direct object pronoun les (representing les pommes) appearing before the verb manger and this requires the past participle of manger to agree with the direct object pronoun (les) therefore past participle plural feminine "mangées"
