  7. When the passé composé is formed with Être, the past participle behaves like an adjective. So, if you have a feminine subject (the “doer” of the verb), you must also have a feminine past participle. EX Il estallé (masculine) BUT Elle est allé (feminine) e If the subject is plural, the past participle must also be plural. Eg Ils sont allé (masculine plural) s Elles sont allé (feminine plural) es
