Show transcript
Senegal is a French-speaking country in West Africa. An independent nation since 1960, Senegal was a French colony.
To talk about an action that happened in the past, we can use 'le passé composé' (the perfect tense), e.g. 'j'ai mangé'.
When using the perfect tense, the adverb generally goes after the verb 'avoir' and before the past participle.
To form an inversion question in the perfect tense, swap the subject and the verb ('avoir'), e.g. 'As-tu commencé ?'.
In negative sentences, 'ne … pas' and 'ne … jamais' go around the verb.
