Course Overview

Learn French - Intermediate level : Master The Past Tenses

Speak in the past in French - Learn the 3 main past tenses : Passé Composé - Imparfait - Plus-que-parfait

Master the Past in French !

This class about the past tenses in French is designed to help you :

  • understand them and know when to use them

  • build and conjugate the verbs

  • getting comfortable speaking in the past

  • tell a story in the past, using the right tenses

The most important French past tenses are the Passé Composé and the Imparfait and they can be difficult to use for several reasons. They don't exactly have one english equivalent which make them tricky to translate. They also often work together and understanding the relationship between them is essential to communicating in French.

That's why, for each tense, we will see the different uses possible, the construction and finally we will practice with exercises.

The class is made for you if :

  • You already have some knowledge of the French language (A1+ level)

  • You would like something grammatically structured

  • You want to actively learn the Past Tenses (Do the exercises with me !)

  • If you have an A2-B1 French exam to take

Don't miss the summary and exercises sheets (with correction) that will help you practice and consolidate what you've just learned.

As a final assignment there is a project that you will be able to complete after attending this lesson. It is called " Une histoire d'amour - A love story" and you will find the Doc / PDF attached.
I will gladly correct it and give you a personalized feedback. Use the summary of the lesson's PDF to help you with the verbs as well as the vocabulary list that is on the assignment sheet.
Je suis impatient de lire vos histoires ;)

Please, if you have questions don't hesitate to contact me.

See you in class !
