As a French major studying literature, it made sense to learn passé simple. But now, over 40 years later and speaking French as a tourist, I have no need for it. I’ve really enjoyed Lawless French until I got to level c and so many questions on passé simple! I’d rather learn helpful vocabulary and expressions/idioms than advanced verb conjugations. Love, the site, but not passé simple!
Just read all the other comments—glad I’m not the only one who’s not keen on passé simple.
Is this phrase not a 'Past conditional " structure?
Hi,
When I am talking about myself and where I live, ,,
What shall I use (à or en)
And also what are the differences between both words
Thank you so much
The lesson states that the e in, for example, 'joueront' is not pronounced.
Please explain why this is so when the verb in the following sentence, taken from the lesson, the e is pronounced.:
Nous volerons dans une heure.
Then how come an example is ‘J’habite à Londres?’
