Participle passé

The participle of the past (participle passé) is needed for building the past tense passé composé.
The participle is built as shown in the following rules:

Verbs with -er ending:

Infinitive without «-er» (regarder , en. to regard, to look at) + «-é»
➡ regardé (m), regardée (f)

Verbs with -re ending:

Infinitive without «-re» (attendre, en. to wait) + «-u»
➡ attendu (m), attendue (f)

Verbs with -ir ending:

Infinitive without «-r» (mentir , en. to lie )
➡ menti (m), mentie (f)


To build the plural simply add a «-s» after the participle ending.
