avoir+verb

in the other avoir+verb lessons, it says that the verb does not need to agree with the subject's gender and number. Is that the case here too?

Bonjour Hazel,

Are you referring to "avoir" + [past participle]? If so, then, the past participle does not agree compared to using "être" + [past participle]. However, it does under specific cases. Take a look here: Le Passé Composé (Indicatif)

and here : Special cases when the past participle agrees (in number & gender) when used with 'avoir' in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)

Also, this lesson is part of the French expressions using "avoir": Idiotismes avec avoir. This is different: here, the conjugation of the verb "avoir" will change depending on the subject.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
