Masculine
passé composé
a past tense in French grammar, to express a completed ('perfect') action. In English, it can either be called the perfect tense or referred to by its French name. The name 'passé composé' reflects the fact that it is a compound tense, unlike the passé simple.
Pronounced as (IPA)
/pa.se kɔ̃.po.ze/
Etymology
Literally, “compound past”, because, unlike the imparfait and passé simple, which use endings and/or root flexion, it uses an auxiliary verb and the past participle.
