Bonjour,
I recently did an exercise where I learnt about when colour adjectives stay the same in French, e.g. "When the colour is described by a phrase containing two or more words". The phrase was "la veste bleu canard".
Here though the word "blanches" does agree with "pages" and "alternées", which I thought were the words "blanches" is describing.
I would just like to know the reason for the agreement in that phrase.
Merci :)
Bonjour,

Merci

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 ?
I recently saw the expression "Tant bien que mal"
In the context of usage of Que/Qui, what decides the use of 'que' here rather than 'qui' ?
Thank you
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.
Pourquoi pas : commencé à bavader ou causer?
I noticed that in your audio of "j'étais allé", there is not a liaison. Is it optional?
I can follow that most of the text is in the (futur d'anticipation).
However, I am wondering why the text switched to using the infinitive (entendre), in the last sentence? and why not use the Gerondif -en entendant. like at the beginning of the fourth sentence.
Please remove historic past questions from my study plan. I’m not I retested in these
