Quelles chaussures te plaisent?

Quelles chaussures te plaisent?

This is actually confusing, as it seems the sentence might be incorrect. I keep wondering why it isn't  Quelles chaussures ils/elles plaisent? Or  Quelles chaussures tu plais?

Hi Victor, 

The verb plaire has an odd construction which can be difficult to get a grasp on.

Take a look at the following Kwiziq lesson which will help understand why it is 'te plaisent'.

Hope this helps!
