French Past Tenses
1 The Perfect Tense
1.1 Être
1.1.1 This is how you would write these
verbs: Je suis allé, Je suis sorti, Je
suis descendu.
1.1.2 There are 14 of these verbs: Monter, Rentrer, Sortir,
Venir, Aller, Naître, Descendre, Entrer, Retouner,
Tomber, Rester, Arriver, Mourir and Partir. Also known as
MRS VANDERTRAMP.
1.1.3 Être = To Be. Je suis, Tu es, Il est, Nous sommes,
Vous êtes, Ils sont.
1.2 Avoir
1.2.1 Regular
1.2.1.1 Just the normal start shown
above + a verb, e.g. J'ai
regardé, Ils ont allés.
1.2.2 Irregular
1.2.2.1 There are a few irregular verbs that have
strange endings. Boire, to drink is one of
them - J'ai bu. There are about 25 others.
1.2.3 Avoir = To Have. J'ai, Tu as, Il a, Nous avons,
Vous avez, Ils ont.
2 The Imperfect Tense
2.1 In the imperfect tense, there is no être or avoir. Each
way you say something has its own type of ending,
though.
2.2 However, these endings follow a pattern: Je = ...ais, Tu = ...ais,
Il = ...ait, Nous = ...ions, Vous = ...iez, Ils = ...aient
2.3 Example: J'étais, Tu étais, Il était,
Nous étions, Vous étiez, Ils étaient.
These are all forms of être.
