Q

Six very common French verbs change their meaning, depending on whether they are followed by a preposition or not. But that’s not all. In a compound tense (the passé composé, for instance), the verb followed by a direct object takes avoir for its auxiliary, whereas the verb followed by a preposition takes être.

A

Monter, descendre et passer,

rentrer, sortir, et retourner
