Grammar Point: past tense

To indicate a past action, use a form of avoir followed by a past participle, e.g.: "I ate" = J'ai mangé, "I finished = J'ai fini. A small number of verbs form the past with être instead of avoir, e.g.: "I went" = Je suis allé. You can learn more about verbs in the past here.
