Homework Help: FRENCH

Posted by E.G. on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 at 2:18pm.

Could you please tell me the following:
if it is a group of all women talking, do you still say:
"nous sommes venus" or is it
"nous sommes venues" ???
Thank you so very much!

it's "nous sommes venus" because its the verb "être" (be)

  no sorry its "nous sommes venues", it is a "e" because the verb is "être" so there is an accord.

Thanks! I know if it is a mixed group, then the masculine form is used, but I figured if it is all women who are speaking, then it should be the feminine form.

Absolutely correct, E.G.! :)

Sra (aka Mme)

all men = masculine plural
1,000 men and 1 woman = masculine plural
all women = feminine plural

Thank you very much, Mme.
