Ajoutée

"Ajoutée" is the feminine past participle of the French verb "ajouter," which means "to add." As a past participle, it can function as an adjective or be used to form compound tenses. When used as an adjective, it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. Therefore, "ajoutée" specifically refers to something feminine singular that has been added. For example, in the sentence "La couleur ajoutée rend le plat plus attrayant," "ajoutée" modifies "couleur" (color), which is a feminine singular noun.

In its role within compound tenses, "ajoutée" is typically used with the auxiliary verb "avoir" or "être," depending on the main verb. For instance, if the main verb is intransitive or a pronominal verb that uses "être" as its auxiliary, the past participle will agree. However, when "ajouter" is used transitively, the auxiliary verb is "avoir," and the past participle "ajouté" usually remains invariable unless a direct object precedes the verb. The form "ajoutée" specifically signifies that the direct object being added is feminine and singular and comes before the verb, or in sentences where "être" is the auxiliary. Understanding the grammatical context is crucial to correctly employing "ajoutée."
