Lesson outcome
I can use the imperfect tense in the singular forms to describe historical figures from the past.
Show transcript
[eu] is pronounced as in 'deux' and open [eu/œu] is pronounced as in 'cœur'.
When [eu/œu] is followed by a pronounced consonant, it is an open sound.
The imperfect tense is used to talk about things that used to happen regularly in the past.
To form it, take the 'nous' form of the present tense, remove -ons, add -ais (1st/2nd persons) or -ait (3rd persons).
Use 'être' in the imperfect tense with an adjective to mean 'was'. The stem for 'être' in the imperfect tense is -ét.
