Question #6619   Submitted by Answiki on 09/12/2022 at 05:53:24 PM UTC

In French, « Il nous a accompagné » should we make the agreement?

Answer   Submitted by Answiki on 09/12/2022 at 05:55:46 PM UTC

When we write " il nous a accompagné(e)s ", the COD (direct object) is nous. The past participle should therefore be agreed with this COD (nous). There are two possible cases:

  • nous represents only female elements => accompagnées
  • nous represents at least one male element => accompagnés


For example:

Jean et moi sommes ravis. Merci de nous avoir accompagnés

Il nous a toutes accompagnées.
