Why is it "ce sont de bons gâteaux" when it's plural?

[Samson Pumpkin Jr.]

I know that if there are two objects or adjectives right after another like "assiettes rondes" then you put de and not des, however, is it the same rule for ce? alors, je ne peux pas dire ces sont de assiettes rondes, je dois dire ce

francophones please respond

I think you are using "ce" as a demostrative pronoun in this case. So like "ce sont" or "c'est"

But "ces" is a demonstrative plural adjective. So like "ces gateaux sont bons"

The form of the latter will change based on plural / gender, the form of the former does not.

You don't know anything about French grammar but you speak French?

I can read pretty good and I can understand ok, but I'm not so good at writing/composition and talking.

In grammar in particular, I don't know exactly the reasoning behind the rules. In the example you mentioned, I don't know why the demonstrative pronoun is never modified to match the pluralness or gender of the object of the sentence. But you never see it written as "cette est" or "cettes sont", so that's how I think it works.

Ce sont les filles qui ont gagnée = Those are the girls that won

The "ce" here is not an article

It's not the same ce as :
Ce type=This guy


It would be easier for you just to use : C'est/Il s'agit insteed of ce sont it sounds better too

but you wouldn't say "C'est sont de assiettes rondes" or "c'est de assiettes rondes." I don't believe that's grammatically correct because you're using two "êtres" consecutively. It would be like saying "it's are some round plates"

Yeah you replace the : ce sont by c'est/il s'agit.

Ce sont des assiettes rondes.
C'est des assiettes rondes (it's not 100% correct but one one will notice/tell you it's incorrect).
Il s'agit d'assiettes rondes
