5. Know how to use the Passe Compose form to talk in the past! (with avoir)
Here is what to remember about the passé composé:

The first verb can be either avoir or être.
Most verbs use avoir as their helping verb.
avoir forms:
j'ai
tu as
il/elle/on a
nous avons
vous avez
ils/elles ont
The second verb is the past participle.
To form the past participle of -er verbs:
remove the -er ending and -add é
To form the past participle of -ir verbs:
remove the -ir ending and -add i
To form the past participle of -re verbs:
remove the -re ending and -add u
The passé composé formula:
avoir + past participle = passé composé

Here is what to remember about the passé composé with être:
Here are the être forms:
je suis
tu es
il/elle/on est

It is composed of two verbs:
passé composé = être + past participle of -er, -ir and -re verbs + agreement with the subject
To form the past participle, replace endings -er by é, -ir by i , and -re by u.
The subject determines the agreement:

feminine singular → add e
masculine plural or mixed gender → add s
feminine plural → add es
