Grammar – Past Tenses

📝 Passé Composé vs Imparfait

One of the most important grammar distinctions in Grade 10 French is knowing when to use the passé composé versus the imparfait. This lesson explains the key difference clearly: the passé composé for specific completed events, and the imparfait for ongoing states, habits, and background descriptions in the past. Mastering this is essential for narrative writing and oral storytelling in FSF2D.
