There are 2 auxiliary verbs in French: être (to have) and avoir (to have).


They are completely irregular, but they're often used, so it's useful to know how to conjugate at the 4 most used tenses (imparfait, passé composé, présent, futur simple):


Être (to be)

Imparfait Passé composé Présent Futur simple
J'/Je étais ai été suis serai
Tu étais as été es seras
Il/Elle/On était a été est sera
Nous étions avons été sommes serons
Vous étiez avez été êtes serez
Ils/Elles étaient ont été sont seront

Avoir (to have)

Imparfait Passé composé Présent Futur simple
J'/Je avais ai eu ai aurai
Tu avais as eu as auras
Il/Elle/On avait a eu a aura
Nous avions avons eu avons aurons
Vous aviez avez eu avez aurez
Ils/Elles avaient ont eu ont auront
