    I have been learning French for quite some time. Until I watched your tutorials, I had the impression that I know almost every topic you teach. What I knew was everything so cloudy. You cleared up all clouds and made me extremely clear on every topic.

    It's kind a confusing where to use passe compose , imparfait, le plus que parfait . In one sentence for example
    C'(etre) ______ dimanche ,il( faire)_____ beau et, avec mon frère, (nous ne pas avoir)______ grand chose à faire alors nous (aller)_____ nous promener au borde la mer.
    How to identify where to use passe, imparfait, le plus que parfait

    Hello ma'am...Ur skills are crisp and explainatory too...I watched this video uncountable times...i understood it as well...but pls tell....While framing sentences in Plus Que Parfait the first part of fillups where u decide whether conjugation will be of etre or avoir how u do it...U first write initials Etre or Avoir and later conjugations.....
    Question is Simple ...how we know we shd use Etre or Avoir ...

    • @FrenchLessonsbyIndu
      @FrenchLessonsbyIndu  Před 4 lety +1

      Most verbs construct the plus-que-parfait using avoir, however être is used as the auxiliary verb in the following cases:
      with 14 verbs of motion and staying still:
      naître/mourir,
      aller/venir,
      monter/descendre,
      arriver/partir,
      entrer/sortir,
      apparaître, rester, retourner, tomber and their related forms such as: revenir, rentrer, remonter, redescendre, repartir.

    • @solomiaaivoji2838
      @solomiaaivoji2838 Před 2 lety +1

      Passe compose expresses finished actions in the past. For example : " Je suis allée à la maison. ( I went to the house). J'ai mangé un gâteau. ( I eat the cake). The action is complete and finished.
      L'imparfait tense expresses ongoing actions in the past. For example :" Quand j'etais petit j'adorais courir "
      ( When I was small I loved to run)
      Plus-que parfait is the Past tense that expresses 2 actions that happened in the past, one before another. For example : " Elle avait fini ses devoirs quand ses parents sont arrivés ". ( She finished her home tasks when/before her parents arrived).
