im assuming its has something to do with the tenses but c'est pas clair

[slender parrot]

in the case of "pensa-t-il" it's so the pronunciation is easier; saying "pensa il" isn't very smooth, so we add a "t"

[glass yew]

oh

so its basically "pensa il" which means he thought?

what about other ways? like "il a pense" ou "il pensait"? on ils raison?

[mystic viper]

verbs ending in vowels followed by pronouns starting with them usually have the t plopped in

pensa-t-il..?
a-t-il pensé..?
pensai__t__-il..?

[glass yew]

oh, so it basically only helps with pronounciations
