Hi Dylane, I am shocked SHOCKED to see how much can you get to cover in an hour, and how after paying plenty of tutors, reading on my own, etc, I feel like things make complete sense now. Doesn't mean I will not be doing mistakes, is part of the journey but whenever I do I can rewatch and rewatch this video as many times as it is needed. This video should have 10 billions views, thank you thank you.
@laurasofiabayona2288 Laura, I completely understand you! lol I cannot believe the amount I have learned that seems like years that I have struggled trying to learn with others. Her teaching method is something I wish I had my entire life of having gone through schooling
I spent 2 hours today working on this with your video and taking notes. I am going to buy the book next week when I get paid. Really helpful, well explained and useful. Even as an English teacher, I can appreciate your methods. Bravo. 👏
I want to thank you so much for making this explanation so easy to understand and not complique things. I'm trying to do my French test The hardest one, do you teach that?
C’était top ❤️ merci ☺️ tu est bonne prof Dylane et merci for putting so much of your time into making this, I appreciate it very much. I have learned so much & I will be watching it again!
Thank you for the amazing explanation. As a beginner I always find your videos extremely helpful. Just wanted to bring a slight typo in the presentation to your notice. At about 47:58 in the video, if you could please check the English translation of "Il détestait les tomates quand il était petit"....C'était top
C'etait top. I loved the video it was really helpful and I just want to thank you because my French has improved and I'm getting the hang of it. Thank youuu
Hi Dylane. I was looking for an explanation on passe compose and imparfait. really impressed with your video. So much so I subscribed immediately and purchased 3 of your books from Amazon in the same day. 😁
Thanks for the video! Is there much covered in this book that is not in the Complete Conjugation course book? Or is it mostly just the passé composé and imparfait material from that book? Thanks in advance!
C'etait top (sorry, I haven't figured out accents on my keyboard!!) Such a great breakdown of the difference, thank you for taking the time to put this together.
The way to think about the past (whether that be the passé composé {in French} or the simple preterite {in Spanish} in contrast to the imperfect is quite easy once you know what to look for (in English) When in English you use _Was +...ing_ this is always the imperfect. Also if we use the modal verb _used to..._ eg "I was walking" or "I used to walk"... These sorts of phrases in English are like a whole goldfish-bowl of time _you're looking at the 'whole' past or background. Trigger word in English would be WHILE too. Consider: While I was watching the telly (imperfect), the phone rang (preterite {or French passé composé).... but if I then go on to say "WHILE the phone was ringing someone knocked of the door" The tense of "to ring" has changed from the preterite to the imperfect. You can have a series of preterite (or passé composé) happen one after another but you cannot "nest" one WITHIN the other. Think of the goldfish-bowl. You can have a bowl within a bowl but you cannot put a pebble inside a pebble (with the pebble being a specific thing that happened). Once you get your head around it, it's easy.
Thank you for explanation. Linguistics calls these 2. ( of 4 )aspects of verbs + point. in. passe compose/preterito times are in past.points in time. imparfait/imperfecto are in past duration time pc/p are in completed aspect. imp's are in continuing aspect.
C'était très top Dylane. Merci beaucoup pour votre aide. J'ai vu une erreur de traduction à l'imparfait :" il détestait les tomates quand il était petit" ( he left the day before yesterday with his friends). Merci encore
C'était top. Ce que j'ai trouvé très interessant était environ l'utiliser l'imparfait pour dire ce que je vois comme le subjunctif passé _Si tu allais dormir plus tôt..._ & _Et si on essayait..._ Je les reconnais parce que je suis en train d'étudier espagnol aussi. Quelle differance entre les deux langues!
Salut Dylane thank you for this video it is obvious that a lot of hard work went into its production , and also i wanted you to know it makes the accompanying book so much more understandable.
Living with no sight and learning French from a little country. Thank you so much for the right explanation, that I can understand very well. Could you write me the author and title of the Ebook please? Thank you.
Dylane, you deserve a special award for this video. How do you cover all that in less than an hour? As a french tutor, this is definitely the best video online on the subject of passé composé vs imparfait. I just want to say thank you
Thank you :D It's always nice to get a comment like this from someone who teaches as well :) Somehow I love conjugation so that was easy to write and to make 😆
Wow! A perfect lesson Dylane, thank you very much. Please teach us other tenses as well like plus-que parfait, conditionel etc. And of course le subjonctif :) Hugs and Happy New Year!
How nice to get a comment from you, it has been a while :D So glad to see that you are still learning French! I will definitely have one for the subjonctif ;) I hope you are doing well ❤️
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane unfortunately have a break for months l don’t have a wonderful instructor like you but l still love French a lot beautiful Dylane. I loved it! Finally you have long videos and when you say to teach them take days l laugh because it suits me. Can have classes for days with you for sure 😅🥰❤️😘🌻
Let us remember that there are verb modes-----indicatif, conditionnel, imperatif, subjonctif. temps----- tenses---points in time = time points.present, passe compose, plus Que parfait. Le mode indicatif, has its present + future, etc Le mode subjunctif has its present, futur, etc. But not all same tenses in these 2 modes Aspect is simple--- "commencer" (to begin), "continuer" ( to continue), " repetir" (to repeat), "finir" (to finish)+ main verb. duration de temps (duration of time) verb is in same place as point in time verb.
Oh that's so nice, thank you so much :D I reply to comments every day so don't hesitate to ask if you have a question. I am off to eat chocolate because your username made me hungry 😅
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Oh, the birth of that name is a sweet one. Back in London, I used to work in investment banking on the Swiss desk. Whenever my guys came back from their business trips from Switzerland, they would bring me chocolate. One of them used to call me Jewels. One day he added the chocolate to it, and Chocolate Jewels was born. I miss those guys.
hey, at 48:00, the first sentence means -> he hated tomatoes when he was little, but the translation says -> he left the day before his friends, which is incorrect. @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane
Merci beaucoup Dylane. Vos leçons sont très utiles. Continuez à faire du bon travail. Btw, just wanted to let you know about an error at the 48 minute mark. Under "When to Use the Imparfait", the English translation for the first sentence is completely different. Just thought you'd like to know. Thank you again.
Wow! Dylane this is so so helpful... When I first encountered your channel I was a bit overwhelmed but now you're my fav French tutor. Thanks for covering all the question marks in my mind. Merci!!!
Hello my best dear teacher You are my important key of Success in both English and French. I like you and i love you , I learn a lot from you. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. The Red Rose you are. The Blue Bird you are.
Some questions that we can do only some not all cause we can get questions but that's is right or not . How can we know that. That's the problem. Confused that am i solving it right or not😿
C’était top, Dylane! Excellente, comme d'habitude. Très utile. Les explications. La méthode. La vidéo. Toutes les exercices! Le meilleur cours que j’ai vu sur le sujet en 3 ans d’étude. Merci beaucoup.
Hey Dylane, great lesson, thank you again! I love to study other languages and discover all the ups and downs of each one, as a student I welcome any help and correction in the process so to improve my learning, with this been said I hope you don't mind me correcting your English pronunciation, when you say "would" in English we don't pronounce the L in this word, we say "wood" just like the word wood. I hope this helps and that you take no offence.😼
@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane haha i know right , btw ive searched throughout your channel but i didnt find what im looking for which is ( all the cases of the structure of sentences)
C'était top! et j'ai beaucoup de pratique nécessaire devant moi. Je vous remercie encore une fois, Dylane. J'ai commencé ce livre il y a quelque temps et j'ai dû l'arrêter. Vous avez raison quand vous dites que parfois y revenir aide. C'est le cas pour moi. Prenez soin de vous et j'espère que vous profitez de votre été. 🤩🙏🏼🦋🌷🕊🐾
Dylane, the videos you have posted are very informative and it improves the student's confidence to the higher plane. Best Wishes. Excellent travaille.

Great addition Paul, thank you so much for the info 🤩
Thank you for explanation. Linguistics calls these 2. ( of 4 )aspects of verbs +
point. in.
passe compose/preterito times are in past.points in time.
imparfait/imperfecto are in past duration time
pc/p are in completed aspect.
imp's are in continuing aspect.
Dylane your an angel! That ‘tup’ ‘tup’ was so cute and it really helped! 😊 God Bless!
I try my best ;)

Parler l'espagnol, ça aide quand on apprend le français mais ça apporte aussi des difficultés comme celle-là ;)
J'aurais aimé recommencer la France depuis le début avec vous, le mauvais système d'éducation au province a détruit mon intérêt pour la France.
Tu peux toujours le faire :)
Salut Dylane thank you for this video it is obvious that a lot of hard work went into its production , and also i wanted you to know it makes the accompanying book so much more understandable.
It definitely is :) The book was made for the video so online it's harder to follow it ;)

Thanks. Is there a Braille or an audio version of a grammar book you could recommend me to read? How to subscribe to your grammar course? Thanks.

c'était super ❤️ merci pour la vidéo. l'amour de l'inde 👍🏻

Very well explained I've no words to express the thankfulness. Also I've a question. What would be the negative of "Je me les suis brossées"?
Je ne me les suis pas brossées :) It's quite heavy in the negative:/

Sometimes, Imparfait talks about the cause and passé composé talks about the consequence
