Grammar Notes

01.
Le passé composé
A2-B1

The passé composé and imparfait are both past tenses in French, but they have distinct uses. The passé composé describes completed actions, while the imparfait describes ongoing, habitual, or descriptive actions in the past. The plus-que-parfait is used for actions completed before another past action.

Examples
fr
C'était l'anniversaire de Caillou et sa maman lui faisait un gâteau.
fr
Caillou avait dit à tout le monde qu'il voulait un dinosaure...
02.
L'impératif présent
A2

The imperative mood is used to give commands, orders, or make requests. In French, it typically uses the present tense forms of verbs, without subject pronouns, except in the first person plural.

Examples
fr
Dis, est-ce que par hasard tu voudrais m'aider à nettoyer le bol?
fr
Maintenant surtout, ne bouge pas.
03.
Le subjonctif présent
B1

The subjunctive mood is used in French to express a wish, a command, a doubt, a possibility, or a necessity. It's often triggered by specific conjunctions or expressions.

Examples
fr
Il faut que tu fasses un voeu avant de souffler tes bougies.
04.
Pronoms relatifs: que
B1

Relative pronouns like 'que' connect clauses and refer back to a noun or pronoun mentioned earlier. 'Que' is used as a direct object and often translates to 'that', 'which', or 'whom' in English.

Examples
fr
Voici une regarde ce que tu as fait.
