The passé composé is a compound conjugation, which means it has two parts:

1. present tense of the auxiliary verb (either avoir or être) 2. past participle of the main verb

add the past participle but if it is an etre verb you need to add an extra e for feminine subjects, an s for plural subjects and an e + s for feminine plural subjects.
