| 7.1.2 Formation of the perfect participle |
We have discussed the formation of the perfect participle already in the first part of the French Survival Guide. For regular verbs, we have the following summary. It is to be separated between verbs ending in -er , -ir, -re or -oir. The stem is to be found when taking the ending away.

Zahlreiche und vor allem wichtige Verben, bilden das Partizip Perfekt aber nicht nach diesem Muster, sondern sind unregelmäßig, das heißt, man muss sie einzeln lernen. Es macht Sinn, sich diese Verben einzuprägen.
