Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

If you're asking about transitive verbs that use the « être » auxiliary in the past tense, then those would be pronominal verbs.

Par exemple...

• Je me suis brossé les dents.
  -# ** ** ("I brushed my teeth.")
• Tu t'es cassé le bras ?
  -# ** ** ("Did you break your arm?")

and do intransitive verbs usually take être ?

[dense pulsar]

is this the same for the passé composé

thats what im studying now

[merry drift]

Almost all intransitive verbs use « avoir » auxiliary; however, there is a distinct group of intransitive verbs that use the « être » auxiliary, which are called DR. and MRS. VANDERTRAMP verbs.

The only ones that use the « être » auxiliary are the DR. and MRS. VANDERTRAMP verbs, as well reflexive verbs.
