Brilec Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I am doing a french level three course at the moment. Our tutor has given us a crossword puzzle to complete, which is to help us with the passe compose and verbs which take etre.I am stuck on one, so perhaps someone here can help.English clue - to go away, 8 letters --n-----. I am faily sure that the n is correct.A virtual tipple to the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 S'en aller ? [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Well then that would be infinitif not passé composé[8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Please let us know the answer - I'm curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Me too, I can't think of an 8 letter verb that takes etre in the pase compose with an N as its third letter with that meaning. Could it perhaps be a reflexive verb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassis Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Have we got an answer to this yet? [blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilec Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. My next lesson is this evening, so I should find out then. Late news, some new pupils who had missed the last couple of weeks came today and were also given the crossword, so the answers were not forthcoming. Have to wait another week. Sorry.

YCCMB Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Twinks, I think the idea was to put the infinitives of verbs that take Etre in the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
