What are 'etre' verbs?

The French past tense that's called 'passe compose' is composed of an auxiliary verb and the main verb in past participle form. In the passe compose tense, the auxiliary verb is the conjugation of either 'etre' ['to be'] or 'avoir' ['to have']. Those verbs that have 'avoir' as their auxiliary choice are called 'avoir' verbs. Those verbs that have 'etre' as their auxiliary choice are called 'etre' verbs. For example, 'venir' ['to come'] is an 'etre' verb. So 'I did come, have come, came' is translated as 'Je suis venue', with 'je' meaning 'I'. The choice of 'etre' or 'avoir' carries through to all of the other combined tenses, such as the conditional perfect, future perfect, pluperfect, etc.
