Okay, so I've just climbed up from A2 but this:
Je suis jalouse des nouvelles bottes que tu as achetées.
looks wrong to me. Why do I have achetées with bottes with avoir?
I'm so confused...

I'm so confused...
This question relates to:French lesson ""Des" becomes " de/d' " in front of adjectives preceding nouns (French Partitive Articles)"
Asked 5 years ago
"Acheter" uses a direct object, which in this phrase appears before the verb (noouvelles bottes). I think that's the case of Special cases when the past participle agrees (in number & gender) when used with 'avoir' in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)
That's a B2 topic and from what I've heard even the French get that wrong sometimes. :)
