Do adjectives still agree when you use 'c'etait'?

For example. If I were to say "Nous avons eu une tempete. C'etait effrayante." Would that be correct (apart from the missing accent on tempete which I can't get to work in this box!)

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate être in the imperfect tense in French (L'Imparfait)"

Hi Karen,

No, in the case of c'est (or c'était) you will always use the masculine form of the adjective and this is a common error.

So, C'était effrayant! C'était petit.....

Hope this helps!
