When there are two people & two actions, what determines the past participle agreement ?
This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing cause with "Pour (+être) allé" = For going/having gone in French"
Asked 5 years ago
The lesson says to match the participle to the person doing the action. In your example the action is "having gone to the gym". The person who went to the gym is "me". So it depends on the sex of the speaker, in this case.
