  Are you familiar with "Dr. & Mrs. Vandertramp?" These are the verbs that require être in the passé composé. If I could draw here, I'd draw you the "House of être" which illustrates these verbs: aller, venir, arriver, partir, entrer, sortir, monter, descendre, revenir, retourner, rentrer, tomber, rester, devenir, naître & mourir. Therefore you need to look again at: #2 = je suis monté(e) #6 = elles sont arrivées #8 = elle est tombée #14 = nous sommes descendus (descendues if "nous" represents all females Like adjectives, past participles conjugated with ête agree in number and gender with the subject. Sra (aka Mme)
