Answer 4

The purpose of this exercise is to familiarize yourself with le passé composé (the composed past tense)

Answer 5

http://french.about.com/od/grammar/a/passecompose.htm

Answer 6

To form the passé composé, two components are required:
1. the auxiliary verb
2. the past participle (le participle passé)

Answer 7

The auxiliary verb is "avoir" (to have) for normal verbs, and "être" (to be) for verbs that indicate motion.

Answer 8

Could you please show me in number one how you would rewrite it then?

Answer 9

For example: Let's compose the sentence "You ate some bread" in French.

Answer 10

The pronoun is "tu"

Answer 11

The auxiliary verb will be "avoir", conjugate it to become "tu as".

Answer 12

The past participle of "eat" will be "mangé"

Answer 13

Therefore the sentence is "Tu as mangé du pain."

Answer 14

Get it?

Answer 15

Yes I understand it now. Thank you :)

Answer 16

Do you have any questions? Asking questions is a useful way of learning.

Answer 17

Not at the moment. I am just trying to process all this information, lol.

Answer 18

Can I help you?

Answer 19

Or maybe you want to refer to the website that I have just given you?
Voulez-vous peut-être voir le site web que je vous ai envoyé?

Answer 20

okay, I will try that. My main problem right now is I went from being in a french class to having to be switched online. So there is like a big gap of some information I just do not know or learned yet.

Answer 21

Do you have the exact information that you missed? I may be able to help you with my knowledge

Answer 22

1) Est-ce que tu as pris [les livres] ce matin?
1T: Did you bring [the books] this morning?
so with this question I would reply with either yes or know i brought the books/ no i did not bring the book?

Answer 23

Yes

Answer 24

*no

Answer 25

okay thank you :)

Answer 26

and as for the information no not exactly, I moved states and the school did not offer french as a class. Online was my only option, and so now I am having to teach myself.

Answer 27

Have you memorized all the conjugated forms of "avoir" (to have)?
Est-ce que tu te souviens toutes les formes conjuguées du verbe "avoir"?

Answer 28

Yes, I learned all the basic stuff in french 1

Answer 29

Glad to hear that.
Ca me fait plaisir.

Answer 30

I am sorry to have to cut our discussion short, but my online class ends soon so I have to go. Again thank you so much for your help! :)

Answer 31

It's fine. Wish you luck in your future study!
Pas de problème. Je vous souhaite le meilleur!

Answer 32

The answer to the first one is either:
Oui, je les ai pris.
or:
Non, je ne les ai pas pris.

In these sentences, the past participle has an object coming sooner in the sentence, so it has to agree with the object.

Est-ce que tu as vu ta soeur hier ?
Oui, je l'ai vuE.

Because l' (for soeur) is before the verb.

Answer 33

And as you have just seen, the pronoun object comes before the conjugated "avoir".
