Lesson#1
You've already learned how to form the passé composé. Now, let's put it into practice to talk about completed events in your daily life, like what you did over the weekend or yesterday evening.
Lesson#2
To make a simple statement about a past event, you just state the subject, the auxiliary verb, and the past participle. For example, to say 'I watched a film', you'd say 'J'ai regardé un film'.
Quiz#3
Translate into French: 'I ate at the restaurant.'

J'ai mangé au restaurant.

Quiz#4
Translate into French: 'He finished his work.'

Il a fini son travail.

Quiz#5
Translate into French: 'We visited the museum.'

Nous avons visité le musée.

Lesson#6
Remember that for certain verbs of movement or state change, you use 'être' as the auxiliary. For example, 'Je suis allé au cinéma' means 'I went to the cinema'. The past participle must agree with the subject.
