  2. USING THE PASSÉ COMPOSÉ • How do we talk about things in the past in English? • Here are a few examples: 1 I have eaten my breakfast 2 You have bought (your cds) 3 They have finished their homework

  3. HOW IT WORKS IN FRENCH • Now here are a few sentences in French: 1 J’ai mangé le petit déjeuner 2 Tu as acheté tes CDs! 3 Ils ont fait leurs devoirs • Can you guess what the above sentences mean? 1 2 3

  4. SO WHAT’S THE RULE? J’aimangé le petit déjeuner 1. The verb “avoir” (to have) in the right form 2. The action in the past (the past participle) I haveeaten my breakfast

  5. Your turn - use arrows to link! Tu asacheté tes cds! 1. The verb “avoir” (to have) in the right form 2. The action in the past (the past participle) You havebought your cds

  6. Your turn - use arrows and colours to link! Ils ont fait leurs devoirs 1. The verb “avoir” (to have) in the right form 2. The action in the past (the past participle) They have finished their homework

  7. SUMMARY SO FAR • WHAT HAVE WE FOUND SO FAR? • You need 2 things to talk in the past - what are they? • NOW SEE IF YOU ARE RIGHT! 1. …... 2. …..

  8. THE TWO THINGS ARE…. 1. The verb “avoir” (to have) in the right form 2. The action in the past (the past participle)

  9. 1. THE VERB AVOIR - TO HAVE • Can you remember the parts of avoir? J’ai I have Tu as You have (singular) Il/Elle/On a He/she/one has Nous avons We have Vous avez You have (plural) Ils/Elles ont They have

  10. 2. THE ACTION IN THE PAST (PAST PARTICIPLE) • Can you see a pattern? • Verb Past participle • Manger Mangé • Danser Dansé • Acheter Acheté • Regarder Regardé • Lire Lu • Faire Fait The patterns I see...

  11. 2. ACTION IN THE PAST • A few verbs do not follow this rule, and have to be remembered separately. Here are some you will use regularly: • Verb Past part. Example • Faire (to do) Fait J’ai fait (I have done) • Lire (to have) Lu J’ai lu (I have read) • Boire (to drink) Bu J’ai bu (I have been) • Prendre (to take) Pris J’ai pris (I have taken)

  12. NOW FOR PRACTICE • The key things to remember: • You need to know the verb “avoir” (to have) • You need to know the past participle of the verb • These rules apply to 95% of all verbs in French! • You will learn later how the other 5% work! • Now for some practice!

  15. A) Remembering the verb avoir.. • Fill in the gaps (without looking back if possible!) J’__ I have Tu __ You have (singular) Il/Elle/On _ He/she/one has Nous _____ We have Vous ____ You have (plural) Ils/Elles ___ They have

  16. B) Reordering sentences in the past • Mettez dans le bon ordre: • e.g. ai / visité / la / Tour Eiffel / J’ • J’ai visité la Tour Eiffel • i) Il / joué / football / au / a • … • ii) Nous /regardé / la / avons / télé • … • iii) ont / fait/ les / ils / magasins / • ...

  20. 2. THE ACTION IN THE PAST (THE PAST PARTICIPLE) • Were you right? • With ER verbs (e.g. Manger/Danser), take off the ER and add É to form the past participle • With RE verbs (e.g. Vendre/Perdre), take off the RE and add U to form the past participle • With IR verbs (e.g. finir/Servir), take off the IR and add I to form the past participle
