Corrigée

Corrigée is the feminine singular past participle of the French verb corriger. It functions as an adjective meaning that something has been corrected or amended, and it agrees with the noun it modifies (corrigée in feminine, corrigé in masculine; the plural forms are corrigées and corrigés).

In everyday usage, corrigée is common in educational and editorial contexts. It can denote a corrected version of a document, exercise, or text. The masculine form corrigé is more frequently used as a noun to refer to the solution or answer key, for example “le corrigé des exercices.” When the noun it accompanies is feminine, corrigée is used, as in “la version corrigée” or “la fiche corrigée.” As a past participle, corrigée also appears in passive constructions, where it agrees with the subject, e.g., “La copie a été corrigée.”

Originating from Latin corrigere, via Old French corrigier, the term persists primarily in French grammar and education. Its meaning is closely tied to the act of correction and to the dissemination of corrected work alongside original tasks. In strict linguistic terms, its usage mirrors that of other past participles used adjectivally or nominally, with gender and number agreement guiding its form.

Examples: “La version corrigée du sujet sera publiée demain.” “Cette copie corrigée est prête.” “Le corrigé des exercices est disponible en ligne.”
