"We are not in the past yet, but I will show you the past in a minute, " is one of my favorite sentences, ever! Beyond that fun moment, thank you for the excellent content and knowledge.

This is a good way to learn the tenses with these timelines, Alexa. Thank you for your help with the French language. Daryl. 😃👋🏻

Thanks, I'm a Finn with a lot of English studying under my skin, with a decent Swedish basic knowledge. I picked up Français last year, and I find it to be quite easy for me to learn, but some of the grammar is difficult, although it makes sense! I'm glad I was lucky enough to have these things taught in my mother tongue back in high school.

Thanks for the help, I shall subscribe!

Plus_que parfait is the past perfect, imparfait is past continuous, passè composé is past simple and passé récent is present perfect.

Je joue au foot mais il y a quelques jours je viens de jouer au foot accompagnant avec mes amis dans un champ mais un de nos ami gravement y blessé. On y arrêtait de jouer en plus quelques semaines après on y avait revenu à jouer au foot et on avait bien joué avec nos collègues. C'était un air de réfléchir pour nos.

I am very pleased to find you dear Alexa.❤ je suis trés contente.😊

Questions:
1) What about "prétérit" and "passé simple".
2) Can you use passé composé in place of passé simple?
3) What's the equivalent tense to the present perfect in English? Present perfect is for an action that lasts to the present but passé composé is not the same. You said passé composé is for an action that ended already.

4) Is "j'étais en train de laver" the same as "Je lavais"?
Thanks

Merci Alexa, je voudrais voir du Timeline pour les autre temps aussi si possible.🎉

En 8h32, est-ce que je serai là avec plus de contextes et d'exemples de "l'Imparfait" (dans le court passé) ? Si oui, sont-ils sur votre site web ? Seriez-vous occupé à faire une autre vidéo sur les prétextes sous "imparfait" ?
