In Le Passé Composé (conversational past), the verb faire (to do/to make) has an irregular past participle: fait, and uses the auxiliary avoir.

|
FAIRE to do/make |
|
j' |
ai fait |
|
tu |
as fait |
|
il / elle / on |
a fait |
|
nous |
avons fait |
|
vous |
avez fait |
|
ils/elles |
ont fait |
Here's that pattern to conjugate faire in Le Passé Composé :
avoir in Le Présent + fait
Note that with avoir as an auxiliary, past participles never agree with the subject of the verb:

why use d' in front of adorable?
why is d' used with, elles ont fait d'adorable bracelets
and des used with, vous aver fait les des cookies pour la foire.
I understand adorable begins with a vowel, as there are mulitple cookies, I don't understand why the plural, des, has not been used. Thankyou

Hi Clare -the partitive article 'des' changes to 'de' (or d' in front of a vowel) when the noun to which it's referring is preceded by an adjective. Hope that helps.
