What makes etre verbs different? Instead of using avoir as a helping verb, you are going to use être. You still need to conjugate it to agree with the subject. Remember: Je suisNous sommes Tu esVous êtes Il, elle, on estils, elles sont You’ll still have your subject, then your conjugated helping verb, then a past participle Unlike with avoir, the participle will change, it needs –e or -s endings to agree with the subject in gender and number

Past Participles Like with avoir, the past participles of verbs that end in –er are going to change to é, then add endings for feminine or plural agreement Verbs that end in –re change to u for the participle, Ir verbs change to –i for the participle Some of the past participles with être are irregular: Mourir- mort(de)(re)venir- (de)(re)venu Naître- né
