7. Son nom? Je le oublie
8. Cette eglise? On le appelle la Saint-Chapelle

Merci
(If anyone can explain using direct object in past tense, I'd be very grateful)
I'll send this to one of our French experts, SraJMcGin.
1. Don't forget the liason = le + aime = l'aime
2. Check eggs = singular? l'oeuf or plural les oeufs (you forgot the s) = correct
3. Mes is plural and so is grands-parents so it's Je LES visite...
4. Notice the Possessive Adjective "SA" which is feminine = Il LA loue.
5. correct with the accent on dépense
6. LES (plural) DISQUES (plural), CLASSIQUES (plural) = 3 cues so how could you miss it? Je LES achète...If you don't have the required accent marks, it is also wrong. there are 3 "e's" in French, each with a different sound. e = uh / é = a (like first letter of American alphabet) / è = eh and all 3 are in the one word "élève"
7. Again, liason = Je L"oublie. (le + any vowel, a, e, i, o, u)
8. EEK! The article "LA" tells you the gender of poisson, even if you don't know it! = Je la déteste (again, accent mark)
10. almost, another accent = à
How many did you have correct of 10? Only 1!
I'll flag this and come back later to see if you have any additional questions.

Hello!
I went over the lesson after posting this and figured out my errors and silly errors those were!
Thank you!
You are entirely welcome!

To replace the dashes with the appropriate words "le", "la", "l'", or "les", you need to identify the gender and number agreement in each sentence.
1. Georges? Je l'aime beaucoup.
Explanation: Since "Georges" is masculine singular, we replace the dash with "le" to maintain the gender agreement.
2. Les œufs frais? On les vend au marché.
Explanation: "Œufs" is masculine plural, so we replace the dash with "les" to maintain the gender and number agreement.
3. Mes grands-parents? Je les visite ce weekend.
Explanation: "Grands-parents" is masculine plural, so we replace the dash with "les" to maintain the gender and number agreement.
4. Sa maison? Il la loue.
Explanation: "Maison" is feminine singular, so we replace the dash with "la" to maintain the gender agreement.
5. L'argent? Je le dépense facilement.
Explanation: Since "argent" starts with a vowel sound, we use "l'" as the pronoun. So, we replace the dash with "le" for the direct object pronoun.
6. Les disques classiques? Je les achète souvent.
Explanation: "Disques" is masculine plural, so we replace the dash with "les" to maintain the gender and number agreement.
7. Son nom? Je l'oublie.
Explanation: Since "nom" is masculine singular, we replace the dash with "le" to maintain the gender agreement.
8. Cette église? On l'appelle la Saint-Chapelle.
Explanation: "Église" is feminine singular, so we replace the dash with "l'" to maintain the gender agreement.
9. Le poisson? Je le déteste.
Explanation: "Poisson" is masculine singular, so we replace the dash with "le" to maintain the gender agreement.
10. Mes blouses? Je les lave à la main.
Explanation: "Blouses" is feminine plural, so we replace the dash with "les" to maintain the gender and number agreement.
In the past tense, you generally use the passé composé in French, which requires the auxiliary verb "avoir" or "être" followed by the past participle of the main verb. To use direct objects in the past tense, you need to consider the agreement of the past participle with the direct object. If the direct object is masculine singular, the past participle remains unchanged. If the direct object is feminine singular, you add an "e" at the end of the past participle. If the direct object is masculine plural, you add an "s" at the end of the past participle. If the direct object is feminine plural, you add an "es" at the end of the past participle.
For example:
Je vois le livre. -> Je l'ai vu (I saw it).
Je vois la maison. -> Je l'ai vue (I saw it).
Je vois les livres. -> Je les ai vus (I saw them).
Je vois les maisons. -> Je les ai vues (I saw them).
