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

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

          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. https://www.duolingo.com/comment/2419410

              Shouldn't it be "ces sont"?

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

                Pronunciation of "bottes" is confusing.
