Definitions[edit | edit source]
Subject-verb agreement[edit | edit source]
The agreement in French (the agreement) is the way to choose the correct ending for verbs in terms of grammatical persons, gender and number, depending on their subject.
Past participle[edit | edit source]
The past participle is a verb form with several roles. It’s essential in the creation of compound verb tenses/moods and the passive voice, and it can also be used as an adjective. The French past participle usually ends -é, -i, or -u, and is equivalent to -ed or -en in English.
Passive[edit | edit source]
The passive is constructed from a transitive verb with the transformation of the direct object into a subject and with:
"a été" + past participle
Agreement of the past participle[edit | edit source]
The past participle agrees with the subject in gender and number in the following cases:
- La guerre a été provoquée par une attaque surprise
The war was sparked by a surprise attack
- Les gens ont été choqués par cet œuvre
People were shocked by this work of art
