Me sitting here watching the video while my french assigment is already 20 minutes late: 👁👄👁
same 😭
My french teacher never actually taught us passé composé ou imparfait, she gave us a sheet of repetition, description, mental state and if but never actually taught us how to use it. Thanks so much!
Thanks. If you find this free content useful. I would really love a coffee at ko-fi.com/logiclanguagelearning/commissions thank you
oh i'm so glad that i didn't take french in high school because my teacher was so bad
Mind. Blown. 7 years of French and you’ve explained better than any professor I’ve had.
Thank you. Email me if interested in my killer tricks for other things. I have a range of podcasts. LogicLanguagelearning@gmail.com
I still love this reply . Thank you x
Wow four years and u still replied lol but its true I keep watching this video everytime I have an exam
Vive la resistance! 😂
8 for me
You just saved a random Canadian high schooler so many tears. My french teacher doesn't teach, she just assigns things out of a textbook and refuses to give us any clue on what our exams will be on. Thank you so much bro
Aw bless you. Have you checked out the grammar podcasts ?
Is she French Canadian out of interest ?
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench she is French Canadian
Apologies for the shaking, the IPAD is being repaired
Why are you apologising. You absolutely helped my stupid brain in my test. Absolute amazing way to explain whether Imparfait or Passe Compose. Even better than my Professor. Thanks a lot mate👍 Anybody tell you, you look like Starkiller from Star Wars.
Repetition, Description, Mental State and IF. This is Very useful. Thank you!
Thanks for these great videos, I have watched lots of them. They are saving me right now in my French studies. Cheers.
You've made it .. ur worthy !!
This just saved my life Sir, Merci!!!
thank you so much!! this video is honestly a lifesaver
....good nice to hear from you
If past continuous (I was doing ...), then imparfait
If present perfect (I have done ...), then passé composé
If past simple (I did), then passé composé
Repetition (Habit)
Description (Situation)
Mental State (i wished, I would like), ps. "inside/ongoing thought" instead of action
If
These would be written in imparfait.
Are those correct? Can someone confirm it?
ps. used to, then imparfait
Guys if you find this free class helped you then please help me out in return and buy me a coffee at ko-fi.com/logiclanguagelearning/commissions thank you
This is incredibly useful! Thank you!
I have a whole load of these tricks for each tense on the podcasts Michaela. If you latched onto the methods in this video well enough then they should suit you! If you go to my homepage a second time it will take you to the podcast videos best
Now it's very clear when to use imparfait and passe composé...Thanks
thanks so much, I could not understand the difference between these two until I watched this video!
You are perfect Sir!!!!
Oh wow ... Thankyou sir. I'm new to this channel , this video is really useful for me for the upcoming tests.
I’m grateful to you
Thank You!
Merci beaucoup pour aider
I am at the point of my studies where I am struggling as well with the occasions of use between the two forms. Thanks for helping me get steps closer to that "A HA" moment.
Mental state made more confusion, apart mental state i got it all sir...
DUDE thank you sooooo much man this was sooo helpful, Merci beaucoup
very unusual videos but bloody good.... thank you ...
I've been studying French since the 70's (off and on, mostly off) and that's the clearest explanation I've ever heard, thank you. I only speak French when I'm visiting my cousins in France, every 2-3 years, so it's hard to retain any skills I learn when I'm there. I'm in Paris and am taking a 2-week course at a school, it's very useful, but the difference between these two tenses wasn't made as clear as your video. Merci!
Well I know. People suck and I rock haha. Kidding. No obligation but if you find these tricks useful then perhaps consider the podcasts. Email me on LogicLanguagelearning@gmail.com and I’ll offer you a discount. Thank you for your kind words.
Thanks a lot !! :)
After I hav seen this video I get full grades on anything related to imparfait or passe compose
Thanks alot dude
That’s fantastic!! Well I do have a kofi account and don’t forget I have grammar podcasts. Best
Great video thanks!!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks its very helpful
Thx for this video. It was really helpfull for me 👍🏼
Great. If you find the content useful please go to ko-fi.com/logiclanguagelearning/commissions
Thank you so much!!! I have a quiz tomorrow and didn’t understand anything until I came across your video!!
Excellent. What are you studying for ? Is this school or adult classes? Have you seen my grammar podcasts that cover all of this ?
That's super! Thank you!
glad you approve x no obligation but I do have a KOFI site link underneath
thank you very much before these I was so confused now I understand it without difficulty it I like that now I distinguish between two in a moment.
By all means visit my Kofi account but no obligation. Thank you
thanks so much mon ami....really helped
Aw bless you. All my tricks are in the grammar podcasts. Email me LogicLanguagelearning@gmail.com and remind me i offered you half price for being sweet.
I always look back to this video because i always forget but you made it easier for me. Do you have any more tricks? Ahehehe i always forget huhu....
Thank you!
By the way you look like Tbag from Prison break haha
I was just about to write the same thing, hahaha it's so true
thank you so much, makes alot of sense
wonderful if you like the tips and tricks then if you got to my homepage you will see the podcast info x
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench ok sure
your explanation is awesomeee...I suggest that if you use some effects or the help of some blackboard or maybe u can make a PPT...This is will make your videos more interesting...:)
Yes and he was speaking so fast
Excellent video, thanks. The one that caught me out for a long time was the passive (I think it's called). So, I was sleeping, I was cooking, etc. are all imparfait, but I WAS caught, I WAS found, I WAS arrested are all passé composé !!
You’ve got it ! X Passive was is a sneaky one.
That is mind blowing! I thanks a lot!
Aw bless you. If you like this kind of trick, email me about the grammar and other podcasts. I’ll give you 50% off for such a lovely compliment.
Logiclanguagelearning@gmail.com
Interesting videos. The concepts of repetition and description are quite clear but not as much with mental state. What does voulais mean vs voulu? When does the mental state signify thee imparfait vs pc. Thanks.
You mean they are not as clear to YOU. Mental state means an ongoing mental situation as opposed to something that marks a change like I decided or I saw.
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench Why be so arrogant sir? He used the passive voice and didn’t blame it on anybody. Quite frankly, this wasn’t explained well in the video. I just saw another more hateful reply from you in the comments. Please be nice to people, we do appreciate your video but this behaviour is not okay. Sometimes, you need to acknowledge faults at your end and be humble. No hate:)
@@michellewest6929 I don't think he was being rude? Maybe direct, but not rude per say. I found the video super helpful actually and this reply helped me clear up some more things.
if there's a specific time in which you wanted something and that time is specified in the sentence, you use pc. Otherwise it's always voulais. Let me know if this helped
Thank you so much. I have a test tomorrow and this really helped me understand better.
Let us know how it goes !
How did it go ??
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench The video was a big help and if I didn’t watch it I would’ve done way worse than I actually did. I felt pretty confident going into the test but there were some tricky questions
hi, before today, i thought i was well managed the difference, but this morning, i had one online class with a french language exchange teacher, when i showed him one of my little articles, he corrected me by changing some of the imparfait to passé composé. What i want to express is that at certain moment, i was doing sth, but then i realised that in french, they use passé composé to express the action which has passed or was undergoing. But in english, using "was doing" is trying to emphasize that at exact that moment, i was doing sth, i dont know if in french, there's certain form of expression or term to emphasize the same?
être en train de faire qch = j'étais en train de regarder la télé quand ils sont venus.
I must say this man is carrying my french alevel. Got my speaking speaking Thursday and ots gonna be okay tbh
Did you find the A-level playlist?
u r a god
super
Thank you
could you please expand on what you mean by "mental state"
thank you !
whatsapp me +447899732838 and I will send you a file
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench I wasn't able to add you for some reasons. Are you able to send it to me through messages on TH-cam? Thank you !!!
Thankyou very much
I've been trying to learn French for one year. I have a weekly zoom with French teacher and I'm 63.
I've moderate grammar and vocabulary but really struggling to convert it into being able to speak.
Any tips please
Merci beaucoup
WhatsApp me. The number Is under the videos x

I was using spanish, but lately the results were poor, cuz i discovered the "trick" myself... So I came searching for help and found it. Thanks
Where are u from mister?
Would you use the imperfect or passe compose when it's someone's age -
John a eu 14 ans or
John avait 14 ans
As a description the imperfect. Ie. John was 14 when his father died. John avait. Action is p c. John was 14 yesterday. Il a eu etc
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench Thank you so much 🙂
What about had? I had spoken when... is that plus que parfait?

I have a french final tomorrow, and I'm worried that if I can't completely translate it to english, how will I know if it is l'imparfait or le passe compose? Are there any hints in the french writing?
Whatsapp me +447899732838. Where are you based ? Perhaps I have time for a quick call. In short. Single. Finished. Actions are p c and descriptive or repetitive actions tend to be imp. I had a coffee. One action. Pc. I had long hair. Description. Imp. I went to church when I was younger as in I used to go to church. Repeated imp. I went to church last Sunday p c
If you’re seeing adverbs like regularly or normally it will be imperfect as opposed to things which suggests one action like and THEN and NEXT or AFTERWARDS. I did this etc
Little clue. P c has these translations. So j’ai mangé could be. I ate. I have eaten. I have been eating. You go with what works in English. Je mangeais could be I used to eat. I was eating. I ate ( which I know is in the top group but it can be both depending) So don’t be afraid to pick a different tense from that group in English according to your example.
I don’t know where you’re based time zone but I’m free uk Thursday 9 35 for a few minutes if you called that WhatsApp. Best. Relax
Tbag from Prison Break?
z SniPeZz 🤣🤣🤣
Actual video starts in 1:16
Thank you Christian Bale!
Haha aw bless you. Is that a compliment? I suppose that depends on which role. Batman or The Machinist? He’s had enough ‘ugly’ character roles. I am going to assume the nice ones haha x
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench heheh. I think you resemble the one in The Machinist the best, although it s on par with Bateman from American Psycho :)
Pls can u like explain on a board or something because am trying to understand more on the menta state and all please i want to be clear please am gonna write exams soon😢Merci

Where is this written down? Thank you.
Hello Nancy. The buzzwords are written underneath. That’s all you need. If you meant the selection. Unless you meant how to conjugate those tenses?
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench thank you!
For me was, were, used to is sufficient to remember in order to use imperfait.
well alas that isn't sufficient I am afraid. I spoke as with most preterit or simple past verbs could be either. I spoke French as a child would be je parlais. It is a lazy approach to only go on was were used to AND not really the best long term as you are working off English instead of feeling it.
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench help me cheat on my test.
Its tomorrow
What are you trying to say 1:33? (b something)? I am not very sure about this.
A be. I am referring to verbs that take être in the auxiliary my friend. If you don’t understand this then type être into my channel search or email me for podcasts x best
why are we so close
I’m watching this and I have a huge exam tomorrow
Let me know how you get on. Have you seen I did a revised video on this only this week ?
you are epic
If you like these, you would love the grammar podcasts. If you go to any recent grammar video, the information about them is in the link underneath They’re on half price at the moment until the end of the lockdown
WHY ARE YOU COMING IN TO MY COMPUTER BLUDDD
this dude blinks rather infrequently
Oh honey, nobody said I was human 😘
Slow down a bit. You tend to get a too bit excited and it becomes difficult to follow, particularly when you count 'onetwothree!'
How very, very rude and patronising of you. I am not an excitable child. The whole point, as any of my students know, is to give the brain a workout and push you juuuust ahead of where the speed is comfortable. If I slowed down to yoga class pace all videos would take a lot longer and nobody would get a proverbial kick on listening. Too excited? I'm not a bloody puppy. Take your learning elsewhere if you're not happy. Also. Have you learnt manners? If you wrote. Hi luc, could you please slow down a bit instead of giving me an imperative command. Speed up a bit! I could say.
French Classes from LogicLanguageLearning I agree with you, and I personally didn’t think you were going to fast but it was just a small critique. Keep that in mind and improve on it!! :)
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench jeez chill bro just his opinion. We’re all trying to learn
I know you say this is a killer trick.... but I'm still alive....
Drum drum. Dad humour. Love it xxx
Bro das bringt einen allman echt nichts
Du musst halt schon Englisch können hahah
Im sorry but the beginning looks like a hostage video
I see you have a nice trick here but you were talking soooo fast 😢 and I’m still trying to get what you are saying
Good - Linguists listen. When you get the English you’ll be ready for the French.
Bro's eyebrows are tensed so bad🥲🥲
Thanks a ton learned a lot man
Bro’s eyebrows are tensed so badLY. Adverb 😉 Well, I’m 40 here and I don’t think I look too bad given I’ve CLEARLY not had Botox haha xx
