Question

I am not understood passe compose

Answer 1

Passé Composé is a tense which indicates the time has just passed. It is used only when hours, minutes are concerned and you have to change it in the past.

Words that act as a hint to Passé Composé are: Hier

Now for the formation,

Passé Composé : subject +avoir/être+ past participle+rest of sentence

All other verbs EXCEPT the verbs mentioned above and ALL REFLEXIVE VERBS will take avoir as the verb.

For Example: J'ai Parlé en Anglais.

#Rules:

1. The past participle will agree with the subject only when the verb used is être and NOT avoir

For example: Nous allons parlé en Anglais

BUT

Nous sommes arrivés à Paris

Similarly, for il/Elle and ils/elles

For Example: Il/Elle a parlé

Ils/Elles ont parlé

Il/Elle est sorti(e)

Ils/Elles sont sortis(es)

# For agreement, singular male: no change

plural male: add s

singular female: add e

plural female: add es

How to do negative

add ne.....pasbefore and after the verb and NOT the participle

For Example: Il n'a pas parlé.

How to do interrogative

Inversion of the verb and subject and add ?

For Example: A-t-Elle parlé?
