The following verbs form the passé composé with être. It is easier to learn
them as pairs:• Aller/venir* to go/to come• Arriver/partir to arrive/to leave• Entrer/sortir to enter/to go out• Monter/descendre to go up/to go • Naître*/mourir* to be born/to die
*The past participle of these verbs are venu, né, mort. All the rest are regular!
All the verbs made up of these verbs, e.g. rentrer, repartir, also take être, as do tomber,
rester and retourner.
