I don't understand why "chacune annee" can't be used. Isn't "annee" feminine, which means the modifying adjective should also be feminine? A little confused.

Une douzaine de means twelve or about twelveI think I have it now. It is only une douzaine de which can be precisely a dozen or about a dozen, the other -aine numbers are always approximate. Correct?

Add le/la poêle to list on nouns changing meaning with gender ?

I have recently come across le poêle (as one of the words for) - stove; la poêle - frying pan/skillet. Fairly common kitchen terms, so may be worth adding to the list?

Reflexive verbs in passé composé agreementI know that all reflexive verbs are conjugated with être in the passé composé, and that the past participle agrees with the subject in number and gender. I learned that when there is another object present (a body part in all or most cases) there is no agreement. In an A2 test, I answered "Elles se sont brossé les cheveux." and was marked wrong, with "Elles se sont brossées les cheveux." as the correct answer. I asked this question on the quiz question site and was redirected to this Q and A board. Thanks for your help/clarification. -- Bonnie Christianson
