And Introducing... A Leg

In the French perfect tense most verbs use the verb to go for the perfect tense. But 13 use to be -- etre. My father invented this character to help me remember them:

Mr V. Drapatesmn

I remember him 10 years on, and what he repreented hardly at all. Er,
Mourir, Returner, Vendre, Descendre, Tomber, Naitre and that's it. Thanks, dad.
