In what contexts is the french verb Passer conjugated with Etre in the compound tenses and when is it conjugated with Avoir?
Deskearney
In nearly all the senses of "passer", the regular way is to conjugate it with 'avoir'.
j'ai passé un examen (I sat an exam - does not mean I passed it!!!)
elle a passé un bon moment (she had a good time /or/ she spent a lot of time)
nous avons passé une heure à faire nos devoirs (we spent an hour doing our homework)
tu as passé l'âge de ... (you are over the age of ...)
il a passé son livre à son frère (he passed his book on to his brother)
When you conjugate it with être, it has the sense of 'using a passage / a route' or 'be there':
il est passé à la maison = he stopped at the house (he has left since)
elle est passée nous voir = she called on us / she stopped to see us
