Much better...

I made some observations a couple of years ago on the utility (or lack thereof) of using acronyms as mnemonics.

The poster child mnemonic in this regard is DR & MRS VANDERTRAMP, which purports to aid in recalling those French verbs (besides the class of verbs known as "reflexive" verbs) that require the use of être with the past participle.

A page on About.com makes a valid point and offers some alternatives.

The point, which is easy to miss, is that if a mnemonic works for you, it's a good mnemonic, so "go for it." But take a look at the mnemonic: there are two verbs each that start with D, A, and M, and four verbs that start with R. It's almost as if you'd need a second mnemonic to help you with the first!

Thus my favorite alternative shown on that same page, which kills two birds with one stone by framing the mnemonic as a series of past participles, is:

allé, arrivé, venu, revenu,
entré, rentré, descendu, devenu,
sorti, parti, resté, retourné,
monté, tombé, né et mort.

I generally avoid rote mnemonics like this (what I associate with the film The Dirty Dozen), but this one is short enough to work for me, especially since it's easy for me to identify the infinitive from the past participle.

Cheers...
