Français (8) Hruby Nom: Le passé composé avec être The passé composé uses être conjugated in the present tense as the auxiliary verb with intransitive and reflexive verbs. Intransitive verbs are verbs that do not take an object. Reflexive verbs (e.g., “Je m’appelle”) have an extra pronoun to show that the action of the verb is being reflected back onto the subject itself. For now, we will concentrate on the intransitive verbs. For all intents and purposes, consider the French language as having 17 of these verbs. The passé composé of intransitive verbs is practically identical in rules with the that of the transitive verbs. You will need two elements: a) être conjugated in the present tense être je tu il elle on nous vous ils elles b) the past participle The past participle will be formed according to the same rules as employed with the avoir verbs. -er -ir -re irregulars -é -i -u Memorize them! *The main difference between using the passé composé with avoir and être is that the past participles of the verbs that use être AGREE IN GENDER AND IN NUMBER WITH THE SUBJECT. When you conjugate an avoir verb in the passé comp., the participle remains the same down the conjugation; the only thing that changes is the form of avoir being used. When you conjugate with être, though, that past participle, much like an adjective, will now agree in gender and in number with the subject. Note the difference below: parler = to speak j’ai parlé nous avons parlé tu as parlé vous avez parlé il a parlé ils ont parlé elle a parlé elles ont parlé aller = to go je suis allé (e) nous sommes allés (-ées) tu es allé (e) vous êtes allés (-ées) allé, allée (sing. form.) il est allé ils sont allés elle est allée elles sont allées The endings for the past participles of être verbs are THE SAME AS THE ENDINGS FOR YOUR BASIC CONSONANT-ENDING ADJECTIVE Hier soir, Max est allé à la boum, mais Lydie est allée au concert. sing. pl. Jérôme et moi, nous sommes allés à Paris. masc. -+s Anne et Sylvie ne sont pas allées à Marseilles. fem. +e +es Learning the seventeen intransitive verbs is not hard; we have two ways to memorize them, either with an acronymn or with a picture.
