Is the passé composé from je suis petit
je suis été petit or j'ai été petit?
It's <j'ai ete>.
Thanks, that's what I thought; but I wanted to make sure.
Please do NOT forget the accent marks! "Je suis petit" if you are male BUT "je suis petite" if you are female. J'ai été petit(petite) is the Passé Composé.
Sra (aka Mme)
Thank you.
The correct form of the passé composé for the sentence "I was small" in French is "j'ai été petit."
To form the passé composé in French, you typically use the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have) or "être" (to be), followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the verb "être" (to be) is used as the auxiliary verb, followed by the past participle "été" (been) of the verb "être".
The verb "être" is conjugated as "j'ai été" in the first-person singular form of the passé composé. The subject pronoun "je" (I) is followed by the auxiliary verb "avoir" (have) conjugated in the present tense, and then the past participle "été" (been) of the verb "être" (to be).
So, to say "I was small" in French, you would say "j'ai été petit".
