Le Pass Compos

A Review
Le Pass Compos is used for completed actions in the past, as
opposed to ongoing actions in the past. For example I talked
rather than I was talking. It may also be used for events that
happened several times in the past.
The Pass Compos is composed of two parts:
1. Lauxiliaire
2. Le participe pass of the verbe
Le participe pass
1. Regular Verbs: To form the past participles, drop the ending
from the infinitive and add in the participe pass endings.
-ER verbs: -, regarder regard
-RE verbs: -u, vendre vendu
-IR verbs: -i ,sortir sorti
2. Irregular Verbs: If the verb is irregular, the past participle will
probably be irregular, too (not aller/all). Here are some of the
ones youll use more often:

apprendre: appris
avoir: eu
boire: bu
comprendre: compris
croire: cru
devoir: d
dire: dit
crire: crit
