Explanation:

we are going to tackle one of the more complicated parts of the French language–talking about the past. Be sure to review the conjugations we saw in Lesson 2, as well as the immediate future tense we saw in the previous lesson. Knowing when to use the past tense is as crucial as knowing how to form it. Drill yourself with the Brainscape flashcards and take note of which verbs are regular and irregular, since this greatly affects the formation of the past tense we will learn in this lesson.

You will find a video below about a satirical reality TV show, which will test how well you can comprehend speaking about the past. Use the detailed lesson below to find ways in which adverbs can affect the past tense and listen for examples in the video!

Now that we have solid footing in both the present and the future tenses, it is time to learn how to talk about the past. French has several past tenses, but there are two that are the most frequently used in regular conversation:

1. Le Passé Composé

2.  L’Imparfait

The passé composé has a very straightforward recipe:

Subject + auxiliary verb (avoir/être) + past participle

There are two auxiliary verbs in French: avoir and être. The most commonly used is avoir, but être is also used in special circumstances. We will explain when to use être as an auxiliary shortly. In the meantime, brush up on your conjugation of avoir and être… you’ll need to have these down pat to form the passé composé with ease.
