Every time I’m trying to work through a lesson a box appears with some useless message right across the page which hinders my learning.
Is there a reason for this?
In this story, “the weather was good the whole time” was translated as “il a fait beau tout le temps”. Why do we use the passé composé here, and not the imparfait ?
I thought the best response might instead be “Il faisait beau tout le temps” as they were describing, or setting the scene for the story. (And also it was the continuous state of the weather without a set beginning or end).
Although I can usually understand when to use the correct past tense now, occasionally one comes along that completely stumps me! Sorry for repeating a question asked a month ago, but I’d really like to know the answer.
J'ajouterais Agnès Varda et Chantal Akerman à cette liste. Je pense qu'elles sont Belges mais elles encore sont formidables. Catherine Breillat est provocatrice mais ses films sont souvent excellents.
