Pourquoi est-ce qu'on doit conjugé un verbe dans le passé avec être et un autre verbe avec avoir? (Why do you conjugate certain verbs in the past tense with the verb "être" and others verbs with "avoir"?)

Pour la plûpart du temps on conjugue un verbe dans le passé composé avec avoir, mais avec quelques verbes specifiques, il faut conjuguer avec être (aller, venir, devenir, revenir, rester, tomber, entrer, sortir, arriver, partir, monter, descendre, naître, mourir, rentrer). Malheureusement, il faut memoriser cette liste! Il y a plusieurs techniques pour les memoriser, par exemple, il y a un acronyme : DR MRS VANDERTRAMP

What is the difference between swing dancing and lindy hop? Can you show me the difference?!

Both dances started in the 1920's-1940's in the US. Swing dancing is composed of 3 beats (6 broken down steps) and lindy hops is 4 beats (8 broken down steps). Lindy hop is more complicated; you can mix lindy and swing. Both are really fun and done with a partner!
