    This video is really very helpful and i think the best video on UA-cam to understand plus que parfait.
    Maam cn u make a video exercise like this where we hv to choose between passé composé, imparfait and plus que parfait in the same paragraph.

    Ma'am
    It's kind a confusing where to use passe compose , imparfait, le plus que parfait . In one sentence for example
    C'(etre) ______ dimanche ,il( faire)_____ beau et, avec mon frère, (nous ne pas avoir)______ grand chose à faire alors nous (aller)_____ nous promener au borde la mer.
    How to identify where to use passe, imparfait, le plus que parfait

    ma'am how will we solve mixed bag of plus que parfait,passe compose and imparfait

    • @solomiaaivoji2838
      @solomiaaivoji2838 2 роки тому +1

      Passe compose expresses finished actions in the past. For example : " Je suis allée à la maison. ( I went to the house). J'ai mangé un gâteau. ( I eat the cake). The action is complete and finished.
      L'imparfait tense expresses ongoing actions in the past. For example :" Quand j'etais petit j'adorais courir "
      ( When I was small I loved to run)
      Plus-que parfait is the Past tense that expresses 2 actions that happened in the past, one before another. For example : " Elle avait fini ses devoirs quand ses parents sont arrivés ". ( She finished her home tasks when/before her parents arrived).

    Hello ma'am...Ur skills are crisp and explainatory too...I watched this video uncountable times...i understood it as well...but pls tell....While framing sentences in Plus Que Parfait the first part of fillups where u decide whether conjugation will be of etre or avoir how u do it...U first write initials Etre or Avoir and later conjugations.....
    Question is Simple ...how we know we shd use Etre or Avoir ...

    • @FrenchLessonsbyIndu
      @FrenchLessonsbyIndu  4 роки тому +1

      Most verbs construct the plus-que-parfait using avoir, however être is used as the auxiliary verb in the following cases:
      with 14 verbs of motion and staying still:
      naître/mourir,
      aller/venir,
      monter/descendre,
      arriver/partir,
      entrer/sortir,
      apparaître, rester, retourner, tomber and their related forms such as: revenir, rentrer, remonter, redescendre, repartir.

    • @integralboi2900
      @integralboi2900 4 роки тому

      When you’re using avoir as the first verb, you don’t make it match with the subject(i.e the past participle is always in its original form)
      It’s like the passé composé, when you’re using avoir, you don’t change the past participle.
      here’s a few examples:
      Il a mangé un gâteau
      nous avons mangé un gâteau
      elles ont mangé un gâteau
      Il est allé
      nous sommes allé(e)s
      elles sont allées
      Notice how when you use être you make sure the past participle matches with the subject, but with avoir you don’t. This is the same deal with the plus-que-parfait.
