5.2.1.2
Position of the pronouns - several conjugated verbs
Again we come back to the basic rule:
the pronoun is put before the conjugated verb (see above) or, if there is an infinitive before the infinitive.
If now there are several conjugated verbs? Then, again it is put before the first one.
Where do we have several conjugated verbs? In compound tenses. Even though, we will have a look at the compound tenses a bit later on, just a short summary to know, what to do with the pronoun in these cases.
The present perfect, the French passé
composé, is formed with the verb to have (= avoir) and the perfect participle. This actually means, it is formed basically the same way the English present perfect is formed.

It does not look too difficult, or does it? However, getting back to the topic of the position of the pronouns: The basic rule says to put it before the first conjugated verb (unless there is an infinitive). In the passé composé there is no infinitive - so, we use the first part of this basic rule.
