Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

I realized now that trouvés makes agreement with the COD "les" which replaces the GN "leurs amis".

i’m not sure to be honest

#

passive voice is like « Le gâteau a été mangé par Marc »

#

here, we only have the past participle

final dew
#

But also some verbs have " sens passive "

terse stream
#

like what?

final dew
#

Se vendre, s'acheter, se parler

terse stream
#

ah, well those are pronominal verbs with a passive meaning

#

like in « Le petit déjeuner se mange au matin »

#

i’m pretty sure they’re still used in the active voice

#

also, there’s a slight difference in meaning between the passive reflexive and passive voice

#

anyways, to answer your question, i think « dépitées » has no voice

#

since voice is a characteristic of verbs, and here we only have a past participle

final dew
terse stream
#

yes, « dépitées » is an adjective here

#

not a verb

#

you can see a lot of past and even present participles used as adjectives in a French

final dew
#

Yeah, so we are not %100 sure that is it considered in a voice or not

#

But most probably it doesnt have a voice due to being an adjective

terse stream
#

i guess

final dew
#

How can we make sure that do you know ?

#

Can we ask a teacher here

terse stream
#

i guess we can wait and see what a native thinks

final dew
#

Yeah i hope someone native will look to this thread
