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.

"ce sont" is a fixed phrase, even if it refers to more than one thing

I see... so "ces sont" is not applicable?

glad cave May 22, 2025, 9:53 AM

Do note that it does match the number if you put a noun in between.

Ce sont tous les livres que je possède.
Ces livres sont tous ceux que je possède.

Ce sont mes voitures.
Ces voitures sont les miennes.

not gender

The pronoun "ce" is invariable.
Only the adjective/determiner that comes before the noun agrees with the latter.
