What has to happen when you use être instead of avoir for the formation of the passé composé?

You use etre for "Dr and Mrs Vandertramp" or "house" verbs. You also use etre for reflexive verbs like se lever, se coucher, se sentir. Don't forget to conjugate etre and use the passe compose end form of the verb (er=e(with accent), re=u, ir=i). The most common etre passe compose is "Je suis ne(e)." = I was born.


What is dormir in present progressive?

Dormir is a verb both in Spanish and French.French does not have a present progressive. The closest you could get is "etre en train de dormir" and you would conjugate etre (je suis, tu es, il/elle est, nous sommes, vous etes, ils/elles sont).Spanish does have a present progressive. The form is "estar durmiendo" and you would conjugate estar (yo estoy, tu estas, el/ella/Ud. esta, nosotros estamos, vosotros estais, ellos/ellas/Uds. estan).Note because the formatting is unable to accommodate accent marks, they are missing.

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.
