Questions & Answers about Nos cousines sont venues en car pour le trajet.
Why does venues have an -es at the end?
In the passé composé, verbs that use the auxiliary être (like venir) must make their past participle agree with the subject. Here, the subject is Nos cousines, which is feminine and plural. So, we start with the base participle venu, add an -e for feminine, and an -s for plural, resulting in venues.
Does car mean the same thing as the English word car?
Why do we say en car instead of using a literal translation like par car?
Why is it Nos cousines and not Notre cousines?
