Past Perfect - Irregular verbs
There is no simple rule for forming the past participle of irregular verbs. It is a good idea to learn the common past participles. You can find these in the verbs tables of dictionaries under past participle.
Use part of the verb avoir according to who or what did the action and add the past participle.
These are common irregular past participles with their meanings:



​j'ai

tu as
il a / on a
elle a
nous avons
vous avez
ils ont

elles ont

couru
