direct or indirect object
Ils m'ont bien sûr envoyé des photos, Is the past participle envoyé rather than envoyée because the m in m'ont is an indirect object?
Asked 3 years ago
Bonjour Kevin,
Yes, that's correct!
Ils m'ont envoyé des photos = they sent me pictures
Ils ont envoyé des photos à qui ? = To whom did they send pictures?
-> à " m' " (me) = to me - indirect object -> no agreement

I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
