Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Imparfait -> Describing a atmposphere or a routine you do (Je buvais du café tous les matins)
Passé Composé -> ONE OFF things you do (J'ai bu un café ce matin) - I have drank some coffee this morning)

[gleaming compass]

passé simple = the literary equivalent of the passé composé
basically in every situation you would use the passé composé in a story, replace it with the passé simple

[naive oar]

Conditionnel: SUBJECT would (je voudrais)

[gleaming compass]

The subjunctive and the conditional are massive topics in and of themselves and it's better you read through the articles I just linked.

[proven topaz]

Okay thank you y'all that helped a lot

Do you think that on the DELF B2 they'll allow if I mainly used futur and passé composé?

[naive oar]

not really

and which futur are we talking about? futur proche?

[proven topaz]

Yeah I guess futur proche

[naive oar]

no

[gleaming compass]

Which future tense, there's three of them

[naive oar]

futur proche: je vais INFINITIF (je vais parler)

i will speak: je parlerai

i would speak: je parlerais

[proven topaz]

Bro there's three? ,_,

My teacher only taught one smh

[gleaming compass]

DELF B2 includes far more tenses than just futur (simple) and passé composé

[naive oar]

[proven topaz]

Huge L rn

Yo y'all tryna Speedrun teaching me some simple grammar please 💀

[gleaming compass]

Anyway, I just looked it up online, DELF B2 usually covers:
présent (je fais), imparfait (je faisais), passé composé (j'ai fait), futur simple/proche (je ferai/je vais faire), futur parfait (j'aurai fait), plus-que-parfait (j'avais fait), le conditionnel présent (je ferais), and le subjonctif présent (que je fasse)

[proven topaz]

I've been in French immersion for 12 years and my class only speaks passé composé and futur proche

I'm literally not even kidding lmao

Thank you for that I need that lol

[gleaming compass]

sounds like a bad school ngl

[proven topaz]

Very bad school it is indeed

They don't enforce us to talk either so we don't practice our french much

[gaunt mountain]

Only passé composé and futur proche? That's terribly restrictive and not representative of the spoken language.

[naive oar]

COMMENT?!

[proven topaz]

Usually my teacher will cover a tense like conditionnel, make us take a test on it, and then never makes us exercise the tense in our speaking ever again smh

Gonna cry these next two days about to go hard 💯
