Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can recognise when to use the simple past and when to use the present perfect when translating French into English, in the context of arriving to live in a new country.

Show transcript
The simple past is formed by combining an auxiliary verb (avoir or être) with a past participle. The present perfect is formed in the same way as the simple past, combining an auxiliary verb and a past participle. When translating into English, we need to think whether the simple past or the present perfect is the best translation.
