The verb "prendre" is NOT conjugated with être.
Here's why:
1. Verbs that are conjugated with "être" in the passé composé (a specific tense in French) typically involve movement, changes in state, or a form of being. These are often referred to as "Dr. & Mrs. Vandertramp" verbs.
2. "Prendre" is conjugated with the auxiliary verb "avoir" in the passé composé. For example:
- J'ai pris (I took)
- Tu as pris (You took)
- Il/Elle/On a pris (He/She/One took)
- Nous avons pris (We took)
- Vous avez pris (You took)
- Ils/Elles ont pris (They took)
In contrast, verbs like "partir" (to leave), "descendre" (to go down), and "mourir" (to die) are conjugated with "être" in the passé composé. For example:
- Je suis parti(e) (I left)
- Tu es descendu(e) (You went down)
- Il/Elle est mort(e) (He/She died)
