5.3 Formation of the perfect particple - 2

Examples
	Je	lui	ai	parlé.
	I	him	have	spoken.
	Je	les	ai	fumés.*
	I	them	have	smoked.
	Tu	l'	as	pensé.
	You	them	have	thought.
	Nous	l'	avons	lu.
	We	it	have	read.
	Vous	les	avez	reçus.*
	You	them	have	received.
	Il	les	a	bus.**
	He	them	has	drunk.

* Here we find another specialty of French grammar (which we will discuss later on in more detail). If there is a direct object (accusative) before the perfect participle, the participle has to conform with this object in gender and number.

Example

J' ai vu les maisons.

Je les ai vues.
