L'Imparfait
Previously, we learned about L'IMPARFAIT (the Imperfect tense).
We learned that l'imparfait is another type of PAST TENSE.
We also learned that it can be used when you want to say you "used to" do something.

L'Imparfait et Le Passé Composé
Now we are going to learn about the differences between the two past tenses.
6
L'Imparfait vs. Le Passé Composé
The imparfait does not always translate as "used to". For example, "Je jouais" can also be translated simply as "I played". In that case, how can you tell the difference between the imparfait and the passé composé????
7
L'Imparfait
The imperfect is a DESCRIPTIVE past tense and its uses can be remembered with the acronym WORDS.
W - Was, Were
O - Ongoing
R - Repeated
D - Description
S - Setting
8
Le Passé Composé
The passé composé is used for COMPLETED ACTIONS IN THE PAST.
