French Past Subjunctive

< Continued from page 1

The French past subjunctive is a compound conjugation, which means it has two parts:
  1. subjunctive of the auxiliary verb (either avoir or être)
     
  2. past participle of the main verb

Note: Like all French compound conjugations, the past subjunctive may be subject to grammatical agreement:
  • When the auxiliary verb is être, the past participle must agree with the subject
     
  • When the auxiliary verb is avoir, the past participle may have to agree with its direct object
