Did you know that the past participles may need to take an extra “E” and/or “S” in some cases? That is when they are being used as adjectives, but also in some specific situations in compound tenses. In this episode, I’ll clarify the rules of agreement of the past participle with ETRE.

In the next part dedicated to this series about compound tenses, we’ll see the rules of agreements of the past participles with the auxiliary AVOIR.

Previous episodes in the series:
