Hello everyone! I am on the search for a long list of French questions - ranging from "What do you like to do in your spare time" to "What is your personal life philosophy".
If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated! Google hasn't given me anything useful so far. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have a question about the third question on that list. It says:
Combien de pays avez-vous visites? I would have put avez vous visité. Why do they use visites? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This is indeed a mistake! It should be: Combien de pays avez-vous visité? Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 10 January 2014 at 9:01am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When a noun, either proper or improper, or a pronoun precedes the verb in any perfect
tense (passé composé, pluparfait, passé du subjonctif, etc.), the past participle (participe passé) must agree in gender and number (singular or plural) with the noun or pronoun antedecent: Masculine singular: Il a vendu son ordinateur. Il l'a vendu. Feminine singular: J'ai compris la voiture. Je l'ai comprise. Masculine plural: Il a vendu ses ordinateurs. Il les a vendus. Feminine plural: J'ai compris les voitures. Je les ai comprises. Someone already wrote it above though, that the participle does not agree. Edited by 1e4e6 on 10 January 2014 at 9:04am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

The original version was correct, except that there was a little typo, a forgotten accent aigu. Can happen to anybody.
The correct version: Combien de pays avez-vous visités?
Do you really mean that you "understand" the cars? Or are you confusing Spanish 'comprar' and French 'comprendre? I personally would have written "achetée" and "achetées" Edited by josepablo on 10 January 2014 at 12:00pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Right, it should be achetée and achetées, respectively. I probably should stop staying up
until 10h00 or 11h00... 1 person has voted this message useful |
