Bonjour!
Verbs that use être as auxillary in the perfect past tense, must have agreement of the past participle with the subject pronoun, but what if a direct object pronoun were included in the sentence? Which of the two pronouns would a past participle agree with please? Subject pronoun or direct object pronoun? Please site an example or two with your answer if possible.
Regards, Cheryl
Why does an adjective sometimes come before the noun it modifies, and other times it comes after?
ex. "un grand bol..." (adjective coming before)
"une voiture verte..." (adjective coming after)
"J'aurais une grande maison si j'en avais les moyens"
Why is the imparfait "avais" used here? "Could" is conditional, so why are we not using "pourrais" here?
To say I feel bad, would you write "Je me sens mal" or "Je sens mal"?
