Notes

GENERAL INFO

Parlé is the past participle of "parler" (to speak). It means "spoken" or "talked." It functions as part of compound tenses and as an adjective.

In the *passé composé*: *J'ai parlé* (I spoke/have spoken).

As an adjective: *La langue parlée* (the spoken language), agreeing in gender/number: *les mots parlés*.

With *avoir*, parlé rarely agrees, as "parler" is typically intransitive (*J'ai parlé à Pierre*).

However, as an adjective or with *être*, it must agree: *Elle est parlée*.
