Hi,
This sentence:
Palme d’Or is the highest prize awarded every year at the Cannes film festival. = La Palme d'Or est la plus haute distinction décernée chaque année au Festival de Cannes.
Why is it décernée with the extra "e"? Thank you

Hi Louise,
"La Palme d'Or est la plus haute distinction décernée chaque année au Festival de Cannes."
"La Palme d'Or" is the subject and so the past participle (décernée) of the verb décerner, acting as an adjective; has to agree with the subject.
Hope this helps.
Bonne journée
Jim
