The past imperative or
é du subjonctif in french, is a
compound tense, which means it has two parts:
- the auxiliary verb in present imperative (either être)
- the past participle of the main verb
Grammatical agreement 504s1d
Like all French compound conjugations, the past imperative may be subject to grammatical agreement:
- When the auxiliary verb is être, the past participle must agree with the subject, except for reflexive verbs (same rules as conjugation with auxiliary avoir) and invariable past participles.
- When the auxiliary verb is avoir, the past participle must agree with its direct object when the direct object is placed before the verb.
