2. Know how to use the Passe Compose form to talk in the past! (with avoir)
Here is what to remember about the passé composé:
It is composed of two verbs.
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
*lesson 4.01, page 3
3. Know how to use the Passe Compose form to talk in the past! (with être)
Here is what to remember about the passé composé with être:
Here are the être forms:
je suis
tu es
il/elle/on est
nous sommes
vous êtes
ils/elles sont
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:
masculine singular → does not change
feminine singular → add e
masculine plural or mixed gender → add s
feminine plural → add es
*lesson 4.02, page 3

- It's a past tense for past descriptions and used to narrate events or how things were in the past.

*lesson 5.01, page 3
9. How to you use the imparfait with irregular verbs?
Here is what to remember about l'imparfait with irregular verbs in the present tense:
To form l'imparfait of être, use ét as the stem and add the imparfait endings:
j'étais
tu étais
il/elle/on était
nous étions
vous étiez
ils/elles étaient
To form the imperfect of verbs with an irregular stem in the nous form of the present tense, carry those over to form their imperfect:
aller (to go): nous allons → all + imperfect endings
avoir (to have): nous avons → av + imperfect endings
faire (to do/to make): nous faisons → fais + imperfect endings
sortir (to go out): nous sortons → sort + imperfect endings
boire (to drink): nous buvons → buv + imperfect endings
prendre (to take): nous prenons → pren + imperfect endings
Verbs that end in -ger, like manger, drop the e before the g in nous and vous forms, but add e for the je, tu, il/elle/on, ils/elles forms in the imperfect to keep the soft g sound:
je mangeais
tu mangeais
il/elle/on mangeait
nous mangions
vous mangiez
ils/elles mangeaient

Here are the expressions of location we use when we want to talk about where one place or person is in relation to another place or person:
To know which à to use, these guidelines will help:
-When you go to a city, use the preposition à + city.
-When you go to a state or a country, the preposition will change depending on whether the state or country belongs to the noun class masculine, noun class feminine, or is plural.
state/country masculine: preposition au + state/country
state/country feminine: preposition en + state/country
country plural: preposition aux + country
-When a state or country's name ends in e, it will almost always be noun class feminine.
-When a state or country's name doesn't end in e, it'll generally be noun class masculine.
