As you probably know by now,<strong> French verbs are sorted into groups<\/strong> and their conjugations differ depending on the group they belong to.<\/p>\n<h3>Conjugating <em>-er<\/em> verbs<\/h3>\n<p>Verbs like <em>parler<\/em> (\u201cto speak\u201d) and <em>manger<\/em> (\u201cto eat\u201d) belong to this group. This is how we form their French past participle:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Take the infinitive, e.g. <em>parler<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Remove the final <em>-er,<\/em> e.g. <em>parl<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the ending <em>-\u00e9,<\/em> e.g. <em>parl\u00e9<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Conjugating <em>-ir<\/em> verbs<\/h3>\n<p>Verbs like <em>finir<\/em> (\u201cto finish\u201d) and <em>sourire<\/em> (\u201cto smile\u201d) belong to this group. Here\u2019s how we form their French past participle:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Take the infinitive, e.g. <em>finir<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Remove the final <em>-ir,<\/em> e.g. <em>fin<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the ending <em>-i,<\/em> e.g. <em>fini<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Conjugating <em>-re<\/em> verbs<\/h3>\n<p>Verbs like <em>vendre<\/em> (\u201cto sell\u201d) and <em>attendre<\/em> (\u201cto wait\u201d) belong to this group. Take a look at forming their past participle in French:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Take the infinitive, e.g. <em>vendre<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Remove the final <em>-re,<\/em> e.g. <em>vend<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the ending <em>-u,<\/em> e.g. <em>vendu<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Verbs that use <em>avoir<\/em> with the past participle<\/h2>\n<p>One of the main things you\u2019ll use the French past participle for is <strong>forming the <em>pass\u00e9 compos\u00e9<\/em><\/strong>. This French past tense is regularly used to describe <strong>completed<\/strong> <strong>actions in the past<\/strong>, and it is formed as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Conjugated auxiliary verb + past participle<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In French, there are <strong>two auxiliary verbs<\/strong>: <em>avoir<\/em> (\u201cto have\u201d) and <em>\u00eatre<\/em> (\u201cto be\u201d).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most verbs use <em>avoir<\/em> as their auxiliary verbs<\/strong>. Let\u2019s have a look at some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>J\u2019<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">ai mang\u00e9<\/span> une pomme<\/em> (\u201cI ate an apple\u201d)<\/li>\n<li><em>Il <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a parl\u00e9<\/span> \u00e0 sa m\u00e8re<\/em> (\u201cHe spoke to his mother\u201d)<\/li>\n<li><em>Vous <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">avez achet\u00e9<\/span> du vin<\/em> (\u201cYou bought some wine\u201d)<\/li>\n<li><em>Ils <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">ont peint<\/span> la maison<\/em> (\u201cThey painted the house\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Verbs that use <em>\u00eatre<\/em> with the past participle<\/h2>\n<p>There are 1<strong>7 verbs that form the pass\u00e9 compos\u00e9 with <em>\u00eatre<\/em> as the auxiliary<\/strong> and they are: <em>na\u00eetre<\/em> (\u201cto be born\u201d); <em>devenir<\/em> (\u201cto become\u201d); <em>mourir<\/em> (\u201cto die\u201d); <em>monter<\/em> (\u201cto go up\u201d); <em>descendre<\/em> (\u201cto go down\u201d); <em>tomber<\/em> (\u201cto fall\u201d);

and <em>retourner<\/em> (\u201cto return\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s have a look at some of these verbs in action:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Je <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">suis n\u00e9e<\/span> en 1980<\/em> (\u201cI was born in 1980\u201d)<\/li>\n<li><em>Il <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">est sorti<\/span> \u00e0 18 heures<\/em> (\u201cHe went out at 6 o\u2019 clock\u201d)<\/li>\n<li><em>Nous <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">sommes devenus<\/span> amis<\/em> (\u201cWe became friends\u201d)<\/li>\n<li><em>Ils <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">sont rentr\u00e9s<\/span> \u00e0 la maison<\/em> (\u201cThey returned to the house\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Notice that when the French past participle is used with \u00eatre, it is <strong>modified to agree with its subject in gender and number<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Irregular verbs<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Learning these patterns is essential<\/strong> for navigating the French past tense, but of course, <strong>there are plenty of irregular French past participles<\/strong> to keep you on your toes.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve set out <strong>15 of the most common<\/strong> irregular past participles in French in the table below:<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-984\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-984\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Verb<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">French Past Participle<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">apprendre (\u201cto learn\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">appris<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">avoir (\u201cto have)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">eu<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">boire (\u201cto drink\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">bu<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">comprendre (\u201cto understand\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">compris<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">craindre (\u201cto fear\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">craint<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">croire (\u201cto believe\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">cru<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">dire (\u201cto say\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">dit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">lire (\u201cto read\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">lu<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">mettre (\u201cto put\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">mis<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">mourir (\u201cto die\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">mort<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">prendre (\u201cto take\u201d)<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">pris<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">recevoir (\u201cto receive\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">re\u00e7u<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-14 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">savoir (\u201cto know\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">su<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-15 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">venir (\u201cto come\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">venu<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-16 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">vouloir (\u201cto want\u201d)<br \/>\n<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">voulu<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2>GlobalExam is your study solution<\/h2>\n<p>That was a brisk walk through the essential aspects of understanding and using the past participle in French.
