The passé composé has three possible English equivalents. For example, j'aidansé can mean: 1- I danced (simple past) 2- I have danced (present perfect) 3- I did dance (past emphatic)
The passé composé is a compound conjugation, which means it has two parts: 1- Present tense of the auxiliary verb (either avoir or être) 2- Past participle of the main verb
Rules: • To put a regular verb in the past participle you should remove the termination (ER), replacing it with an É. • [ avoir or être in the present tense] + [past participle of the verb] avoir/être + past participle avoir + terminer terminé être + monter monté (e) (es) (s)
Grammar ending When the auxiliary verb is être, the past participle must agree with the subject • Masculine: none • Feminine: e • Masculine plural: s • Feminine plural: es When the auxiliary verb is avoir, the past participle may have to agree with its direct object (We’ll do this next week)
Practice: Verbs using “avoir” • Chanter : j’ai chanté / il a chanté • Parler : tu as parlé / nous avons parlé • Manger : ils ont mangé / elles ont mangé Verbs using « être » • Tomber : elle est tombée / Marie et Margaret sont tombées • Entrer : nous sommes entrés (es) / Tu es entré (e) • Rester : vous êtes restés (es) / ils ont restés
Closure • Can a volunteer tell us how many parts are they in the “passé composé? • Can another volunteer tell us what are they? • What is the past participle for “terminer”? • how do we conjugate “je (dancer)” in the passé composé?
