First, you need to post the question again (or choose 'Add Details' in the pull-down menu next to the pencil on the icon bar directly under your question). Why? Because you need to transcribe each line of your question correctly. Many lines in your original question are incomplete and make no sense whatsoever: "Martin a sympa ?!?" "l'homme n'est ?!?" Who is "Martende" – did you add/forget something there?

Surely, your assignment contained more information. You can't expect people to guess what the missing bits might be. Write out the whole sentence so that the words are in context; you'll get more accurate answers that way. And pay attention to your spelling. For instance, is that "guerre" (small 'g') as in "war," or are the questions related to the story of Martin Guerre (capital 'G')?

As for the "passé composé" or any other tense of a French verb, consult a good grammar book, such as the "Bescherelle Conjugaison." Or go to http://www.leconjugueur.com/, enter the infinitive in the search box (e.g. AIMER, RENTRER, etc.) and click on 'Conjuguer.' For pronominal verbs, be sure to add the personal pronoun SE (e.g. SE MARIER). And if you don't have an international keyboard with accented characters, you can use the ones provided to the right of the search box; just click on the one you need, and it will insert itself in the box (e.g. click on 'ê' then type 'tre' => être).

After you've done your own research, you can always ask Yahoo! users to check your work and explain whatever mistakes you may have made. That way, you'll actually learn something…

Is this from the story "The Return of Martin Guerre"?. Here is a try. It's a bit difficult as some of the sentences are not complete. Good luck!

martin s'est MARRIÉ
martin est rentre apres neuf ANS
(LE) Vrai martin guerre EST RENTRÉ


il n'A PAS AIMÉ
la ville A ÉTÉ contentE
martin A ÉTÉ sympa
Martende A AIMÉ
l'homme A ÉTÉ
il A ÉTÉ

*what do i put here*
Arnaud A demandÉ l'arget

Did I understand you correctly: all the sentences have to be in passé composé?
I hope I can be of some help!!!

Martin s'est marié
Martin est rentré après neuf ans

(the third line doesn’t make any sense whatsoever!)
(True Martin war return)

Martin est vraiment rentré de la guerre / après la guerre
(he really returned from / after the war)

il n’a pas aimé (he didn’t love)
La ville a été contente (the town was happy???)
Martin a été sympa (he was nice)
Martin t’a aimé (he has loved you)
l’homme n’a pas été (the man wasn’t ???)
il a été (he was)

Arnaud a demandé de l’argent (he asked for some money)
