Its worth it!

Le pass compos avec tre

You have two ways of forming the perfect tense in French. 1. Most verbs take avoir + past participle 2. A few verbs take tre + past participle

The verbs that take tre

For the time being, just remember one thing:

onter entrer enir

escendre ester ntrer ller ourir asser rriver atre omber ortir

This is for you!!! With the verb tre, you have to add an extra e at the end of the past participle, to make it feminine.

Je suis arrive Je suis ne Je suis venue Je suis morte etc.

Dont think Great, I can forget all about this rule! It works also when you talk about other female persons:

Ma mre est descendue Elle est partie Ma soeur est tombe

etc.

&
This applies to all of you! When you have a plural person, you need to put an s at the end of your past participle. If the person is feminine AND plural, then guess what? You add an s AND an e!

Ils sont rentrs Mes soeurs sont arrives
