How to Form the Passé Composé:

The passé composé is built from two parts:

An auxiliary verb (avoir or être) conjugated in the present tense

The past participle (participe passé) of the main verb

Most verbs use avoir as their auxiliary, but verbs of movement and all reflexive verbs use être. When using être, the past participle agrees in gender and number with the subject. The feminine marker (e) and plural marker (s) are added accordingly.

To make conjugation and grammar rules even more memorable, this video uses a color-coded system:

Orange for the past participle (participe passé)

This color-coding helps you instantly recognize the crucial elements of each verb form and remember the rules more effectively!
