French language Q&A Forum

I had the same problem that Kathleen had even after I listened to it a number of times.  Of course, once I saw the correct version, it was wonderfully clear!

Why "la tentation a été trop forte" and not "la tentation était trop forte" or "la tentation avait été trop forte". Or do the translators usually use "was" for "has been". Is this an English phenomenon, as "was" is the "past of the past" ?

I wrote this on my own time and was wondering if anyone can help guide me where I went wrong if anything is not right?

Thank you for responding
