Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
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.
conjugation tables are comprehensive resources
you don't need to learn all of that at once
only focus on what you need at one time. If you're learning present, focus on that and filter out the rest
do you understand the basics of conjugation already? what is it
My personal learning style is a combination of casual use in day to day life and flat out repetition/drills. Basically if I write/say the same thing over and over, it works for me. My goal was to simply learn past, present, future for my target verbs for each week. I am, I was, I will be. But I’m struggling to actually figure out how to narrow things down because I just don’t understand what I’m reading.
I know it’s something like I was vs I have been, but again, I was trying to keep it simple and stick to the basic forms. Grammar decided simplicity was never an option.
did you learn present tense before moving to other tenses?
it is the most fundamental tense and learning it will help you learning every other
learning too much at once can be very overwhelming
I appreciate the consideration, I really do. But I am not feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information. I am merely confused by the differences in the tenses and when they are used.
can you elaborate then? on what you'd like to be explained
the main 4 tenses to learn are generally present tense, passé composé, imparfait and futur simple
respectively for simple actions in the present, past, and future
Found a resource! This is what I needed explained, for anyone else who has the same issue. https://youtu.be/JK5OMjjAc8A?si=MVjGodfayiIpDGWd
