Why can't it be "they are my boots"?

[lpacker]

Why can't this be translated "those are my boots" ?

[ARrocket]

That's accepted

Why doesn't "ce" agree with "bottes"? What's different about situations where one would use "ces"?

Have a look at this - it may clear a few things up.

Shouldn't it be "ces sont"?

[AnySkywlkr]

We could say it's as if "c'est" = "ce est" (but it would be tricky to pronounce) so plural form is "ce sont"

[FrenchByte]

Pronunciation of "bottes" is confusing.
