Use etre when it's followed by a preposition and avoir when it's followed by a noun.

This question relates to:French lesson "Descendre can be used with avoir or être in compound tenses depending on its meaning in French (Le Passé Composé)"

Sorry about the typos.  It's 10.40pm and I have been gardening all day.  I should really be in bed, not revising lessons from my notebook!!
