French Question!?!

Can you use the past participle with the imperfect as in: "Il avait changé" Or, do you say: "Il avait changer" Or, is it simply the passé composé: "Il a changé" "_____" are supposed to mean "It changed" (referring to a change in society) :confused:

il a changé - change has happened
par example: le role des femmes a changé

Il avait changé - it had changed, (when + passe composé)
par example: elle avait fini son dinner quand il est arrivé.

Il avait changer - wrong :-)
