French Vocab (IMPORTANT)

Well, the first thing to know is that to form Passé Composé, you need 2 verbs : an auxiliary (AVOIR or ETRE) and a past participle. This matches your perfect tense in English, except you only use the auxiliary "to have" :
- I have walked
- You have done
- He has eaten

If you use a verb that usually ends in -ER (in the infinitive form, i.e. the form you find in the dictionary), then to form the past participle, you need to take away the -ER ending and put -é instead.
For verbs ending in -IR in the infinitive form, you need to take it away and replace it by -i
And for verbs ending in -RE, you replace it by -u.
