The most common French verbs that take avoir instead of etre.
Since it's been more than 50 years, you're forgiven for getting it backwards -- these are the verbs that take etre instead of avoir.
Our mnemonic for the list was Mrs. Vandertamp
Monter
Retourner
Sortir
Venir
Aller
Naitre
Descendre
Entrer (and, by analogy, also rentrer)
Rester
Tomber
Arriver
Mourir
Partir
