Show transcript
Adjectives ending -al in English often end in -al or more commonly -el in French. The feminine form is -elle.
Use the perfect tense for specific one-off past events and the imperfect for regularly repeated past events.
Use the present tense of avoir/être and a past participle to form the perfect tense.
Use the present tense of the 'nous' form, remove -ons and add -ais/ait for the singular imperfect tense.
The verb shows if the action used to happen all the time or was a single, completed event; time phrases give detail.
