diffrenciating the verbs
This question relates to:French lesson "Quand/lorsque/après que/une fois que + future perfect (Le Futur Antérieur) = When/after I've done something in the future (Sequence of Tenses in French)"

There is a (limited) list of verbs that conjugate with être in compound tenses - most only with avoir, some only with être, and a few can be with être or avoir, depending on usage/meaning. The lesson you have linked is quite advanced - the question you are asking is from earlier sections of development - it may be better to work through the levels and get the basics before jumping to more advanced lessons.
Conjugate coming and going verbs (+ être) in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)
