"right past tense"
It was asked in a question to use "faire" in right past tense. When it was left unanswered, it was suggested to use imperfect tense as per 'quick lesson'. Does "right past tense" mean "imperfect tense"? This terminology was not used in the earlier lessons on imperfect tense. Please clarify.
This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing continuing action with the imperfect tense in French (L'Imparfait)"

Bonjour yellamaraju !
No, the "right tense" here means the right tense in this context, which was to express a continuing action in the past. In this context, the "right past tense" to use in French is always L'Imparfait.
I hope that clarifies it for you,
à bientôt !
