Hi Nazar,

I would like to have a look at the question or lesson from which this query has come?

https://french.kwiziq.com/community-guidelines

"Quantités " is a feminine plural noun (and direct object of réduire) and therefore I see the past participle of the verb mettre needing to be "mises" to be in accord with that noun (as is the case with an adjective).

Bonne continuation

Thanks Jim I was confused whether to make it agree with “Quantités” or “plastique”. As regards to your question, I don’t quite understand it but if you mean where I got the statement from its in preparation for the Irish Leaving Cert (equivalent of BAC) French Exam. We have topical essays in french with plastic/environment being one that could come up. Hence, I’m learning off a few phrases. Thank you again.

The Forum doesn't help with homework, that is what I needed to be wary about.
