Les verbes VANDERTRAMP sont bizarres pour deux raisons. Pourquoi ?
- A.
They take avoir and they are spelled backwards
- B.
They take avoir and their past participles agree with the subject
- C.
They take être and they are spelled backwards
- D.
They take être and their past participles agree with the subject
Correct Answer
D. They take être and their past participles agree with the subjectExplanation
The correct answer is "they take être and their past participles agree with the subject." The explanation for this is that the VANDERTRAMP verbs, also known as the Dr. Mrs. Vandertramp verbs, are a group of verbs in French that use être as their auxiliary verb in the compound tenses (such as passé composé) and their past participles agree in gender and number with the subject. This means that if the subject is masculine singular, the past participle will also be masculine singular, and so on. This is different from other verbs that use avoir as their auxiliary verb, where the past participle remains unchanged regardless of the subject.Rate this question:
