Transcript Passé Composé with Avoir

Point de départ
In order to talk about events in the past, French uses two
principal tenses: the passé composé and the
imperfect. In this lesson, you will learn how to form the
passé composé, which is used to express actions or
states of being completed in the past. You will learn
about the imperfect in Leçon 7B.
