How can I determine if I can use the historical past to describe a past event? Does it work effectively for both l'imparfait and le passé composé? For example, to convey the following sentence in French: I was working when the phone rang.

But with a historic past, can I say: La telephone sonna quand je travaillai.

Bonjour,
J'ai répondu: ...je ne savais pas que ma vie changerait *tellement*.

Est-ce que "tellement" et "autant" sont égales ici ?
Why does “endroits” have “des” before it when it begins with a vowel?
