J’aime les fraises que Maman a cueillies. Translation

The English translation “I love the strawberries that Mum picked up.” suggests that Mum went to the store to buy them, or somewhere else to collect them. If the meaning was that she picked them off the plant, then the sentence should be “I love the strawberries that Mum picked.”

This question relates to:French lesson "Special cases when the past participle agrees (in number & gender) when used with 'avoir' in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)"

Hi Heather,

I agree with you and I have changed the translation to 'picked'.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Bonne Continuation!
