"Dr. Mrs. Vandertramp" is the mnemonic for English speakers to remember which French verbs are conjugated in "passé composé" with the "être" auxiliary instead of "avoir".
Each letter of the mnemonic represents one verb:
Devenir - to become
Revenir - to return
Mourir - to die
Rester - to stay
Sortir - to go out/Exit
Venir - to come
Arriver - to arrive
Naître - to be born
Descendre - to descend or go down
Entrer - to enter
Rentrer - to return home
Tomber - to fall
Retourner - to return
Aller - to go
Monter - to climb/to go up
Partir - to part/ to leave
Passer and Deceder are also conjugated with "être" in some cases, like when they mean 'to pass by' and 'to decease'.
Not much of a mnemonic, since remember initials apply to thousand of words and verbs, not just one verb per letter, let alone a whole list.
