Asked by Sidney
                In French, what does agreement mean again?
Cause for example I put down this:
Ils ont marches sur l'Avenue Champs-Elysees.
But there shouldnt be an S after marche because theres no agreement with avoir.
Could I please know what agreement means again?

    marché (passé composé with avoir only has the past participle agree with a preceding direct object.)  There is none here.......Eysées
Verbs conjugated with être have the past participle agree with the subject...
Ils sont allés (for girls = allées)
Elle est morte
With adjectives, agreement means the adjective has the same number (singular/plural) and gender (masculine/feminine) as the noun(s) modified
la maison blanche
les livres lourds (heavy)
With verbs, there is agreement of the proper ending, depending upon the subject
je finis
ils finissent
Above are 4 types of agreement.

    Okay so would agreement just be the endings?

    I suppose you "could" say that!  I just never thought of it in those terms!

P.S. There are so many definitions for the word "agreement" but here's what I found when it refers to grammar:
correspondence in grammatical case, number, gender, person, etc., between syntactically connected words.
