  6. Forming the Perfect Tense with “être” You need three things: 1. The correct part of the verb “être – to be” 2. The past participle of the verb 3. The correct agreement on the past participle

  7. GIRLS!!! With the verb être, you have to add an extra ‘e’ at the end of the past participle, to make it feminine. Je suis arrivée Je suis née Je suis venue Je suis morte etc.

  8. BOYS!!! Don’t think ‘Great, I can forget all about this rule!’ It works also when you talk about other female persons: Ma mère est descendue Elle est partie Ma soeur est tombée etc.

  9. BOYS!!! & GIRLS!!! This applies to all of you! When you have a plural person, you need to put an ‘s’ at the end of your past participle. If the person is feminine AND plural, then guess what? You add an ‘s’ AND an ‘e’! Ils sont rentrés Mes soeurs sont arrivées
