Parti vs Partie in passé composé

Question

Bonjour. Thanks for your work and learning resources. I have a question.In the attention note, shouldn't "I left [from] Paris"  be "Je suis parti de paris" without the "e" at the end of "parti" ?

Accepted Answer

Hi Chukwuemeka,
Thank you for pointing this out, as we don't know who is speaking it is incorrect to assume it is a woman so I have altered the example to encompass both options.
We are really pleased that you are enjoying our work.
Bonne Continuation !

Answer

Chukwuemeka,

“ Je suis partie de Paris “ - indicates a female speaker, with past participle gender agreement in the compound verb conjugated with être.

Not to be confused with expression ‘ faire partie de …’ in which ‘ partie ‘ is invariable ( feminine noun ).

Agreeing past participle with subject's gender and number with (+ être) verbs in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)
