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.

Hey there! If you're just starting with French, then the passé simple can be ignored for now. You'll only really encounter it in books or very formal conversations.

Ok thanks

You'll be better off learning the passé composé instead.

ye Im looking at that the now

Imparfait + passé composé for day-to-day French, passé simple for literary works, and the rest for more academic situations.

Once you start learning about the subjunctive mood, which can be rather common when talking about emotions, doubts, and the like, the imparfait au subjonctif might be worth learning. It can definitely wait, though.

And for hypothetical situations, such as ('He would have been'), you'd want to look at the conditionnel passé.

Ye I think I got all of them except the subjuntives and then ill need to work on the irregulars

and the simple past one after that
