mis en place grammair question

Postby bcnrrr8181 » July 22nd, 2013 6:28 am

salut~

i've seen this sentence from the news few days ago on TF1.

:'' le numero d'urgence mis en place par la SNCF est le 0800 xxx xxx''''

i understand should use passive form such as :

le numero d'urgence a été mis en place par la SNCF. le numéro est 0800 xxx xxx''

but i dont understand how it becomes as '' le numero d'urgence mis en place par la SNCF est le 0800 xxx xxx''

seems like mis en place here is adjectiv,is that right?

could you please explain the structure of this sentence?


merci beaucoup

Bonjour bcnrrr8181,

This is a very good question !

"Mis" in this sentence is the past participle, so it acts as an adjective, you're right!
In a feminine form, we could say "la décoration mise en place hier (...)"

You may also find this : Le numéro d'urgence 0800 xxx xxx a été mis en place par la SNCF./ La décoration a été mise en place hier.

This is a common expression, you will always find these two forms.
Thank you a lot for this interesting question !
Feel free to ask anything!

Passez une bonne journée !
