Review of the Passé Composé
• The Passé Composé is a past tense.
• It expresses an action that happened
once, in the past.
• The Passé Composé is made up of two
verbs:
• 1. A helping verb (avoir)
• 2. The past participle
Verb 1: The Helping Verb (Avoir)
• The helping verb is conjugated in the
present tense to match the subject.
• Review the conjugation of avoir.
•
•
•
•
•
J’ai = I have
Tu as = You (inf) have
Il a = He has
Elle a = She has
On a = One has
Nous avons= We have
Vous avez= You (form) have
Ils ont = They (m) have
Elles ont = They (f) have
Verb 2: The Past Participle
• We will first review the past participle of
regular ER verbs.
• You form the past participle by taking off
the ER ending and adding é to the end of
the verb.
Examples
1. Nous avons mangé la glace.
We ate ice cream /We did eat ice cream./ We
have eaten ice cream.
2. J’ai visité Paris.
I visited Paris. / I did visit Paris./ I have
visited Paris.
A Closer Look
• J’ai mangé la pizza.
• Ai is the helping verb. It is the je form of the
verb avoir. The helping verb should always
match the subject.
• Mangé is the past participle. To form the
past participle you will always remove the
ER and add é. The past participle is not
conjugated to match the subject.
