  2. Passé Composé • Passé composé is one of the French past tenses • It is formed by combining the conjugated form of either “être” or “avoir” with the past participle of a verb • For regularly conjugated past participles: • -ER verbs: change “er” to “é” • -IR verbs: change “ir” to “i” • -RE verbs: change “re” to “u” • The past tenses of some verbs are formed irregularly, and must be memorized separately

  3. Premier • Check if the verb is Reflexive • If it is, use “être” and go to the final step • If it isn’t, go to step two • For example: Je mesuislevé à six heures.

  4. Deuxième • Check to see if it is on the list (on the next slide) • “Dr. & Mrs. Vandertrampp” • If it is, go to step three • If it is not, use “avoir” • Examples: • J’airaté le bus. (Not on the list) • Je suissorti avec mes copains. (On the list)

  5. List of Verbs that use Etre • D: Devenir Devenu To become • R: Rester Resté To stay • M: Monter Monté To go up, to climb • R: Retourner Retourné To return, to go back • S: Sortir Sorti To go out • V: Venir Venu To come • A: Aller Allé To go • N: Naître Né To be born • D: Descendre Descendu To go down, to get off • E: Entrer Entré To enter • R: Rentrer Rentré To return, to go home • T: Tomber Tombé To fall • R: Revenir Revenu To come back • A: Arriver Arrivé To arrive • M: Mourir Mort To die • P: Partir Parti To leave • P: Passer Passé To pass by

  6. Troisième • Check to see if the verb has an object after it • If it does, use avoir • If it doesn’t use être and proceed to step four • Example: • Le prof arentré les interros. (“les interros” is an object) • Il estné hier.

  7. Finalement • If you are using “être,” you have to change the verb so that it agrees with the subject • If the subject is feminine, add an “e” to the end of the verb • If it is plural, add an “s” to the end • For feminine plural subjects, add an “es” to the end • Examples: • Elle est allée au cinéma. • Ils ne sont pas venus ce matin. • Elles sont entrées le châteaux.
