Welcome to Stage 1 of Sauvegardé!
Play & learn with essential passé composé sentences.
Introduction
Before playing, let's go over the basics!
In French, passé composé is the most common past tense. You need it to talk about what you did last weekend, last night, on vacation, or even this morning. This tense is used for precise moment actions and is formed with two elements:
AUXILIAIRE (present tense) + PARTICIPE PASSÉ (past participle of the verb)
When to Use Passé Composé?
Use passé composé to talk about completed actions in the past.
How to Form Passé Composé?
Most verbs use the auxiliary "avoir" (90% of cases), while some use "être".
With AVOIR (Most Verbs)
This is the most common structure.
All -ER verbs form their past participle with -é.
Examples:
Hier, on a regardé un film. (Yesterday, we watched a movie.)
Tu as / T'as mangé tous les fruits. (You ate all the fruits.)
Ils ont travaillé tout l'été. (They worked all summer.)
With ÊTRE (Movement & Reflexive Verbs)
Some verbs, especially movement verbs and reflexive verbs, use "être" instead of "avoir".
Common verbs that take être:
Aller, venir, monter, descendre, partir, arriver, entrer, sortir, rester, retourner, passer, naître, mourir, revenir, devenir, rentrer
Examples:
Hier soir, il est allé au cinéma. (Last night, he went to the cinema.)
Tu es monté(e) dans le bus. (You got on the bus.)
Je suis passé(e) chez mes amis. (I stopped by my friends' place.)
With Reflexive Verbs
All reflexive verbs use "être" in passé composé. Don't forget to adjust the reflexive pronoun!
Examples:
Je me suis levé(e) à 8h. (I got up at 8 AM.)
Nous nous sommes reposés après le voyage. (We rested after the trip.)
Elle s'est douchée ce matin. (She took a shower this morning.)
Exceptions: Movement Verbs That Take AVOIR
Some movement verbs actually use "avoir" instead of "être" because they describe an action itself, not a change in location.
Examples:
Marcher (to walk) → J'ai marché longtemps. (I walked for a long time.)
Courir (to run) → Elle a couru vite. (She ran fast.)
Voyager (to travel) → On a voyagé en Espagne. (We traveled to Spain.)
Nager (to swim) → Tu as nagé dans la mer. (You swam in the sea.)
Conduire (to drive) → Il a conduit une voiture rouge. (He drove a red car.)
Key Differences:
Verbs like aller, venir, partir (“Je suis allé”) use être because they indicate a change in location.
Verbs like marcher, courir, voyager (“J’ai couru”) use avoir because they describe the action itself, not a destination.
