Using the perfect infinitive The perfect infinitive is formed with the infinitive of avoir/être + past participle. It is often used with après to mean ‘after having done / after doing.’ __________________ le château, ils ont décidé d’y retourner bientôt. (After) having visited the castle, they decided to go back there again soon. Après avoir visité

Using the perfect infinitive Remember that the past participle will need to agree with the subject when using a verb that takes être. _____________________ au château, elles ont cherché d’autres sites historiques dans la région. After returning to the castle, they looked for other historical sites in the region. Après être retournées

Using the perfect infinitive Other uses of the perfect infinitive - translate the following into English. Je regrette d’avoir perdu le dépliant. - Ils ont reconstruit le bâtiment sans avoir fini l’accueil. Il a été félicité pour avoir trouvé une solution au problème de la sur-fréquentation.
