    Explanation
    There is no agreement with this Se-verb because "s'écrire" originally takes À (écrire à). This one is a tough one because it implies that you have already memorized the list of these verbs that take the preposition "à". I compiled a list of the most common ones on the Web site. Make sure you get it. Ask Anne if you can't find it.
