How to conjugate other verbs in passé compose:
In French, the end of the second verb changes from its infinitive form depending on the
type of verb you are using
...
g
...
g
...
This includes 'aller' to 'allé'
...
g
...
g
...
This
excludes irregular verbs like 'souvenir'
...
g
...
g
...
This excludes irregular verbs like
'battre'
...
You just have to study
them, although there are patterns you can find
...
Most irregular verbs ending with -oir
in the infinitive end with -u in the past participle: vouloir --> voulu, pouvoir --> pu,
savoir --> su, voir --> vu
...
g
...
You must
put the reflexive or reciprocal pronoun between the subject and the être: Jean s'est
brossé les dents
...
This is to say that you must add -e if the subject is feminine and -s
if it is plural
...
Let's say you want to translate "I
went"
...
So, "I
have" will become "I am" (Je suis) and then you add the past participle, just like
we've done before, plus the agreement, if necessary
...
