How would I answer this question?
Remember that in French, verbs must take a helping verb in the past tense. Most verbs take “avoir” as their helping verbs, but some take “être.”

Être ou ne pas être? C’est la question! It’s really important that you memorize which verbs take être in the passé composé. The mnemonic device DRMRSVANDERTRAMP is one way to help you do this. Now you are going to get creative, and come up with another way for you to remember which verbs have être as their helping verb in the passé composé.

One example of this is drawing a picture of a house and depicting all of the action verbs that take être. For example, a person walking downstairs would represent descendre. You could do the same thing by drawing a town or even a circus.
