Are they correct depending on whether 'en' means it (singular) or them (plural)?
1. Pierre m'en a offert. / Pierre m'en a offerte. [Pierre offered some of it/them to me.](If COD/Direct Object - 'en' - it/them)
2. J'ai mangé des chocolats. --> J'en ai mangés. [I ate them.]
Are agreement rules applicable in Passé Composé for 'en' when it is a Direct Object Pronoun ?
The clues are very confusing. Why write U.S. right away as a clue. I thought that was what the interlocutor actually said. So although I wrote tout de suite initially I corrected it given the clue.

I don't understand why in this lesson the example is given i.e. the ez is dropped from the verb
-Donne-moi les fleurs!
-Give me the flowers!
However, I have been marked as incorrect by doing what seems to be the exact same thing.
Make this statement into an order : "Vous me donnez les fleurs": ________ les fleurs!imperative
· Donnez-moi RIGHT
· Donne-moi WRONG
Is this a mistake on your part or am I missing something here?
How do you know what gender a word is if it's not a person
Hello
on the quiz: "we are leaving at four:" I chose "nous sortons à quatre," because I took it to mean "in the process of." But "partons" is correct, because "sortons" requires an actual place. Is that correct?
Thanks
We are leaving at four o’clock." ?Nous partons à quatre heures.Nous laissons à quatre heures.Nous quittons à quatre heures.Nous sortons à quatre heures.I understand that one would say 'Je suis avocat(e)'; if referring to a he/she/they, does this require 'le'/'la'/'un'/une'??
This sentence was considered correct:
Tu es apparue comme un ange.
But that doesn't that assume we know that the subject is female? If we don't know, why isn't it Tu es apparu comme un ange.
