Passé composé the –ed past tense in French
The rules of Passé composé: You take the subject: Je, il, le médecin, le chien….. Add a form of AVOIR to match j’ai nous avons tu as vous avez il, elle a ils, elles ont

Then add the past participle
The past participle is the –ed form of the verb in French: If the verb ends in –er as an infinitive, take off the “er” and add é. Examples, you ask? parler = parlé manger = mangé respirer = respiré acheter = acheté jouer= joué avaler = avalé

Past participle of –ir verbs
If the verb ends in –ir as an infinitive, take off the “ir” and add i. So, what the heck do you mean? finir = fini choisir = choisi If the verb ends in –re as an infinitive, take off the “re” and add u. So... vendre = vendu répondre = répondu perdre = perdu descendre=descendu
