3. What is it really?
It’s actually an acronym, which represents the 17 verbs that use être as a helping verb.
The verbs are: devenir- to become, revenir- to come back, mourir- to die, retourner- to return, sortir- to go out, venir- to come, arriver- to arrive (to happen), naître- to be born, descendre-to descend, entrer- to enter, rentrer- to return, tomber- to fall, rester- to stay, to remain, aller- to go, monter-to go up, partir- to leave, passer-to pass by

4. What makes etre verbs different?
Instead of using avoir as a helping verb, you are going to use être. You still need to conjugate it to agree with the subject.
Remember:
Je suis Nous sommes
Tu es Vous êtes
Il, elle, on est ils, elles sont
You’ll still have your subject, then your conjugated helping verb, then a past participle
Unlike with avoir, the participle will change, it needs an ending to agree with the subject in gender and number

6. Past Participles
Like with avoir, the past participles of verbs that end in –er are going to change to é, then add endings for feminine or plural agreement
Verbs that end in –re change to u for the participle, then agree
Ir verbs change to –i for the participle, then agree
Some of the past participles with être are irregular:
Mourir- mort devenir- devenu
Naître- né venir- venu
Revenir- revenu

11. Some creative versions

13. What could you come up with?

In your writing journal, you are going to sketch your own version, and label it with the verbs
(A little later, with a group, you are going to make a poster to display with the être verbs)
