French Grammar Masterclass: The Participe Passé Explained

May 12 / 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EDT

“Les reines se sont succédé” or “Les reines se sont succédées”? Which one is correct and why? Come discover the answer in this interactive webinar!

Join this focused French grammar masterclass for a clear, structured breakdown of the participe passé, including the rules, the logic behind them, and the key exceptions you actually need to know.

After a concise review of the theory, we’ll move on to practical application through guided exercises and discussion. You’ll work through examples drawn from legal and general contexts, with special attention to complex sentence structures.

This webinar is designed for French speakers and advanced learners who want to write more accurately, avoid common mistakes, and gain confidence with one of the most challenging areas of French grammar.

You will learn how to:

  1. Review French grammar (theory).
  2. Work on legal/medical/general sentences.
  3. Improve writing skills in French (complex sentences).
