235. REMARKS.-I. Aller takes être in its compound tenses: Nous sommes allés, nous ÉTIONS allés. 236. II. The Imperative va takes s before y, if the latter is not followed by an infinitive: vas-y, go thither; with an infinitive: va y mettre ordre, go and put it in order. 237. III. J'ai été, j'avais été, j'aurais été, are sometimes used for je suis allé, j'étais allé, je serais allé; but the verb être expresses that one has returned from the place, whilst aller means that one is still there; as, J'ai été à Paris, implies my return from it; il est allé à Paris, gives to understand that he is at present staying in that city. 238.
