Introduction to the passé composé
with être
• You already know how to form the passé
composé with avoir by using the present tense
form of avoir and the past participle of the verb
you want to use.
However, some verbs use être instead of avoir as
the helping verb in passé composé. Most of those
verbs are verbs of motion, such as tomber, aller,
arriver, and sortir. Using être as a helping verb
(auxilary), the past participle has to agree with
the subject of the verb.
• je suis tombé(e) nous sommes tombé(e)s
•
tu es tombé(e)
vous êtes tombé(e)s
Il/elle/on est tombé(e)s ils/elles sont tombé(e)s
** you will also use être to form the passé composé of all
reflexive verbs.
je me suis levé(e) nous nous somme levé(e)s
tu t’es levé(e)
vous vous êtes levé(e)s
Il/elle/on s’est levé(e) ils/elles se sont levé(e)s
