replace the underlined direct object in this sentence: J’ai reconnu le professeur.). Now, turn to page
301 and complete exercises 3 and 4 by taking turns with your partner. Next, write 2 sentences using the

6. The agreement (l’accord) of the direct object pronoun with verbs in the passé composé. Now, turn to
pages 307 and 308. As you have learned in the past, the past participle of verbs conjugated with avoir in
the passé composé do not change, i.e., no extra letters for agreement are added to the past participle;
however, there is one exception when direct object pronouns are used. Complete exercises 16, 17
(p.307), and exercises 18 and 19 (p.308), with your partner to learn how past participles may now
change in spelling in this one unusual case that is an exception to the rule.
