How about you give it a try first?

[hasty nova]

ok

so

idk if i put it in passe compose or imparfait

which one is it

this the whle thing

@silk hemlock

i think it is

il etait 6H30

il pleuvait

[silk hemlock]

Yep, these two sentences provide background information for the scene, so imparfait can be used.

[hasty nova]

then is it j'ai prende

[silk hemlock]

You need to use the past participle of prendre but you used the right tense, given it's a one-time thing.

[hasty nova]

@silk hemlock

in the second to last sentence

Le patron n'est pas contnet

woudl it be

le patron n'etait pas content

or

actually

its not impfartiat

i think

so le patron n'a pas ete content

[silk hemlock]

Yup, emotions or states of things in the moment in the past generally use imparfait.

[hasty nova]

oh

nevermind

but

it was only a one time thing

like its nto lasting

[silk hemlock]

Even if it's finished later, the emotion was there when he arrived.

[hasty nova]

🥹

how do u say i didnt know

is that imparfait or passe compose

[silk hemlock]

Knowledge, or lack thereof, is generally a long-term thing.

[hasty nova]

conetxt: my teacher gave me a 0 for a asismgnet cuz i dindt upload pic of the hw, so im saying i dditn know i had to ,,,,,,,,,,

so its imprafiat?

[silk hemlock]

Yep. Knowledge is an ongoing process.

[hasty nova]

im cooked for my french quiz yo

this telling if its passe compose or impfarfiat is complciated

[silk hemlock]

Practise them and you'll use them basically flawlessly.

[hasty nova]

its tomorrow

im doen for no comeback this time

[quasi ice]

😭

[hasty nova]

Just took it and infact failed

I asked for the auxiliary for arriver and I had it as j’ai arrive and then my friend said it’s etre and I changed it nd it is wrong

[quasi ice]

it is être

there must be something wrong with the test
