Participle form for "vous", and for "elles"

Question

Vous can mean one person (polite ? ) form, or more than one person.  So "vous (Gareth) êtes resté  à la maison"; vous (Laura) êtes restée  à la maison"  and "vous (Laura and Aurélie) êtes restées  à la maison" ?  I'm making my best guesses here.

Vous is not included in the lesson.

And elles is not included in the lesson either.  "Elles êtes restées  à la maison"?

Whether my versions are correct or not, lesson might be improved by adding examples with vous and elles.

Thanks as ever.

Bonjour Melody !

In this case, most people wouldn't do the liaison between "restées" and "à", it sounds weird to me personally :)
I would say that usually before "à la maison" I wouldn't do the liaison.

Following this question, I also decided to rework the lesson on agreement, and add a section about the "vous" agreement there ;)
-> Agreeing past participle with subject's gender and number with (+ être) verbs in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)

Merci et à bientôt !

Answer

Bonjour Melody !

First of all, Bravo ! All your guesses for "vous" are perfectly correct :)
As for "elles", almost  ->  "Elles SONT restées à la maison."
And I agree with you that these cases need to be added to the lesson, which will all be done shortly.

Merci beaucoup et à bientôt !

Thanks for the speedy response.  Sorry about the "brain glitch" on "Elles sont"!

One last question- for "vous (Laura and Aurélie) êtes restées à la maison", is there a liason between the "s" at the end of "restées" and "à" ?  (and other similar cases)?

Thanks again.  I find Q&A section SO helpful!

Answer

Thanks so much for taking the time to rework the lesson.  I read it via the link you gave and it's very helpful.
