Les lui, Les leur...when using passe compose...does the past participle change?

Hi,

I am seeing the past participle agreeing in number, adding "s" when I see les lui or les leur

What do I need to know about the status of the past participle in an example such as... "Nous les leur avons montrés."

Thank you

Pronunciation of eggs

I always thought the "f" was pronounced in "oeufs", but in the video she does not pronounce the ending. Are both forms possible?

Position of adjectivesYou have given us the general rule and exceptions. This is good. But scrolling down further I find a mind boggling array of existent exceptions. Can I choose to ignore and not worry about those for the short and mid term progress with the language?
