How do you write i/he/she went to *blank location* in past tense in french? like. how do i say something like i went outside yesterday, or my friend went to the store yesterday? i really want to understand this, but none of the websites i use are really doing a good job at explaining it

Bonjour

How to write "I/he/she went" in past tense (passé composé ?)

I went outside yesterday. ==> je suis sorti hier. (If and only if 'I' is a boy)

Pierre talking = je suis sorti hier.

but if 'je' is a woman ==> je suis sortie  hier

Anne talking = je suis sortie hier.

My friend went to the store yesterday ==> mon ami(e) est allé(e) au magasin hier.

mon ami (= Pierre)  est allé

mon amie (= Anne) est sortie

because as 'ami' begins with a vowel, you can't say "ma ami"... you've got to say 'mon ami' even if it's feminine.. that's another 'problem'

to go = aller

to go down = descendre

to go out = sortir

to go away = partir

to go after = suivre

In French we have differents verbs when in English, you've got one and only verb called phrasal verb (not sure its the correct way to call it) so it changes the meaning of the verb

What you have to remember is that when you use the "passé composé" with the auxiliaire "être", the past participle will agree with the subject...

so if, 'je', 'tu'  are feminine, the past participle will end with an 'e' .. most of the time

well I think I understood what you were asking for ... but it's quite difficult to answer...

for example =

to turn = tourner

to turn off = éteindre

to turn on = allumer

to turn red = rougir

to turn white = blanchir, pâlir

to turn around = se retourner

and lots of English verbs have those small prepositions that change the meaning... in French, we most of the time have different verbs that you'll just have to learn

Hope I helped you to understand even though I do not have "une solution miracle" a 'silver bullet'
