Quelles chaussures te plaisent?

Quelles chaussures te plaisent?

This is actually confusing, as it seems the sentence might be incorrect. I keep wondering why it isn't Quelles chaussures ils/elles plaisent? Or Quelles chaussures tu plais?

This question relates to:French lesson "Quel/quels/quelle/quelles ? = Which/what? (French Question Words)"

Hi Victor,

The verb plaire has an odd construction which can be difficult to get a grasp on.

Take a look at the following Kwiziq lesson which will help understand why it is 'te plaisent'.

Hope this helps!
