Passé Composé avec Etre ou Avoir
Ted Raymer
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
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 me suis levé à six heures.
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’ai raté le bus. (Not on the list)
– Je suis sorti avec mes copains. (On the list)

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 a rentré les interros. (“les interros” is an object)
– Il est né hier.
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.
