Compound Tenses (Page 2)
The second page focuses on compound tenses, which require auxiliary verbs and past participles.
Definition: Compound tenses use an auxiliary verb (avoir or être) combined with the past participle of the main verb.
Example: In passé composé, "J'ai mangé" uses avoir as auxiliary with the past participle "mangé"
Highlight: The choice between avoir and être as auxiliary verbs depends on the main verb being conjugated.
Vocabulary: The term "participe passé" (past participle) is the form of the verb used in compound tenses.
The page outlines various compound tenses including passé composé, plus-que-parfait, passé antérieur, and conditionnel passé, explaining their formation using auxiliary verbs in different tenses combined with past participles.
