About the course

You’ve mastered the present — now let’s travel back in time! 🕰️ In Unit 05, you’ll finally learn to talk about what happened — yesterday, last week, or dans le passé lointain — using one of the most essential tenses in French: le passé composé. This is where everything comes together — verbs, auxiliaries, past participles, and meaning. You’ll learn how to describe your experiences, tell stories, and talk about actions with confidence and clarity. Here’s what you’ll discover step by step 👇 🧩 The structure of the passé composé – learn when to use avoir and être, and how to form perfect sentences. 👣 DR & MRS P. VANDERTRAMP verbs – never forget which verbs take être again! ⚙️ The past participle – how to form it, agree it, and recognize irregular ones. 🚫 The negative form in compound tenses – Je n’ai pas parlé, Elle n’est pas venue. 🔤 Irregular participles (Part 1 & 2) – fait, pris, eu, vu, voulu, pu... you’ll master them all! 💬 Reflexive verbs in the past – Je me suis levé, Tu t’es souvenu, and how to avoid common mistakes. 🕒 Time markers and adverbs – hier, déjà, souvent, il y a deux jours… so your stories sound natural. ⏰ The recent past & the near future – to link events in time and narrate smoothly. You’ll also explore negative pronouns, advanced prepositions, and expand your vocabulary around daily life, the body, home, and time itself — giving your sentences more precision and depth. 🎯 By the end of this unit, you’ll not only understand the passé composé — you’ll own it. You’ll be able to talk about your day, your memories, and your life — just like a native speaker. The past is waiting for you… go rewrite it in French! ✨
