G: Passé Composé with Regular Verbs
Main article: French/Grammar/Tenses/Present perfect
The passé composé is a perfect tense, and is therefore composed of an auxiliary verb and a past participle.
With most verbs, that auxiliary verb is avoir.
Meaning
In English, verbs conjugated in the passé composé literally mean have/has ____ed. While there is a simple past tense in French, it is almost only used in formal writing, so verbs conjugated in the passé composé can also be used to mean the English simple tense.
For example, the passé composé form of parler (to speak), [ avoir] parlé, literally mean has/have spoken, but also means spoke.
Basic Formation
To conjugate a verb in the passé composé, the helping verb, usually avoir, is conjugated in the present indicative and the past participle is then added.
Auxiliary Verb - Avoir
Conjugate avoir in the present indicative.
j'ai I have
nous avons we have
tu as you have vous avez you have
il a he has
ils ont
