I was just looking at the card's source, and noted that the passe composé for you went was Vous êtes allés, which I suppose would be literally translated as You are went, or You are gone. I wondered if the êtes was pronounced ET or ETS, so I went to the Forvo site and looked it up. Apparently, it can be both, though it's more likely to be just the first. Along the way, I found these useful phrases:
Vous êtes très belle.
Vous etes d'ou ?
Êtes vous mariés ou célibataires?
Handy language, French.

I was going to say that we pronounced it as ET, sans the "s" sound. But, then again, I went to little county podunk high school and wouldn't count any of our pronunciation as standard.
Most of them do appear not to have that trailing S. But in the guy's second iteration, he used it. Wonder if that was intended to be plural?
