pronunoiation of 'faite'

Postby DavidW on Fri Nov 06, 2009 3:15 am

In Rocket French advanced lesson 2.2 Prendre de l'essence, the use of the past participle in the phase 'vous l'avez faite' involves the spelling and pronunciation 'faite' with the 't' pronounced - in lieu of 'fait' - the reason is not given in the lesson other than to say it is a grammar rule that ' we will be spared' !!!

Can someone please explain why the 'T' is pronounced in this instance and why this approach appears not to apply to other 'past participles'
