U2FS, you're wrong in a small thing. "representé" is "representée."

u2fs, am i right?

boracasli boracasli June 24, 2011 June 24, 2011 at 5:46:30 PM UTC flag Report link Permalink

because "representé" is masculine, while "representée" is feminine.

It's slightly more complex than that actually.

While using the auxillary verb "to be" "être", the verb agrees with the subject, so the past participle takes on an e at the end when the subject is female. However when using the auxillary verb "to have" "avoir", if the complement is located before the verb, then the verb agrees with the complement, if not the verb doesn't agree with anything.

so it goes as follows
Evelina Sašenko a representé* la Lituanie au concours de l'Eurovision 2011.

dominiko dominiko June 25, 2011 June 25, 2011 at 12:31:38 PM UTC flag Report link Permalink

a répresenté → a representé

(I don't think it's a good idea to translate sentences in languages in which you are not fluent)

I'm not bad. I'm learning french. but please.

En fait, c'est *représenté Dominiko. :)
