In the example: "Basile adore se coucher tard." Why isn't it 'tarde'?
Isn't the object Basile feminine?
This question relates to:French lesson "Using the infinitive form of verbs to express the English "-ING""

Bonjour John !
First, Basile is a masculine name :)
But more to the point, "tard" is not an adjective here, but an adverb (late), therefore it never changes nor agrees :
Il se couche tard.
Elle se couche tard.
Ils se couchent tard.
Elles se couchent tard.
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
