Answer:

Nous avons pris une voiture pour Nice, en France, et de là, nous sommes rentrés en avion à New York.

Step-by-step explanation:

To say "we took a car to Nice, France, and from there flew home to New York City" in French using the passé composé tense, you can say:

"Nous avons pris une voiture pour Nice, en France, et de là, nous sommes rentrés en avion à New York."

Here's the breakdown of the sentence:

- Nous avons pris (We took)

- une voiture (a car)

- pour Nice, en France (to Nice, in France)

- et de là (and from there)

- nous sommes rentrés (we flew home)

- en avion (by plane)

- à New York (to New York)

In French, the passé composé is used to indicate a completed action in the past. In this sentence, "avons pris" and "nous sommes rentrés" are the past participles of the verbs "prendre" (to take) and "rentrer" (to return/home). Remember that the past participle needs to agree in gender and number with the subject, but in this case, it remains the same for both masculine and feminine subjects.
