When to use the passé composé
The passé composé is the everyday past tense for completed actions: “Hier, j’ai mangé au restaurant.” It is built from avoir or être in the present plus the past participle.
How it is formed
Present of avoir (or être for the “house of être” verbs and all reflexive verbs) + past participle. With être the participle agrees with the subject: elle est allée, ils sont allés.
