Questions & Answers about La suspension de cet utilitaire a l'air rouillée.
Why is rouillée feminine here if it follows the masculine noun l'air?
With the expression avoir l'air (meaning "to look" or "to seem"), the adjective typically agrees with the subject of the sentence, not the word air. Since the subject here is the feminine noun la suspension, the adjective becomes feminine (rouillée). For inanimate objects like a vehicle part, this agreement with the subject is strictly required in French.
Does rouillée agree with suspension or with utilitaire?
Why do we use cet before utilitaire instead of ce?
