Salut! Today you're learning one of the most important grammar concepts in French — two past tenses that are often confused, but each one has a very clear job! Video below Le passé composé — for completed actions and specific events J'ai mangé à 8 heures Elle est arrivée hier soir Nous avons pris le bus Il a cassé son téléphone Ils sont entrés dans le bâtiment L'imparfait — for habits and ongoing situations Je mangeais souvent ici Il faisait froid Elle était fatiguée Nous attendions le bus Ils habitaient à Montréal The key rule to remember: imparfait = vague, ongoing, repetitive.
