Passé Composé & The Imparfait

While both passé composé & the imparfait are used to talk about the past, use the imparfait to tell how things were or what used to happen over and over: Quand j’étais jeune, nous allions à la plage chaque été. When I was young, we used to go to the beach every summer.

You also use the imparfait to give descriptions: Il faisait très beau. Il y avait beaucoup de fleurs. The weather was beautiful. There were a lot of flowers.

Use the passé composé to say what happened or what someone did in a set period of time: Une fois, j’ai fait un château de sable incroyable! One time, I built an incredible sand castle!

Sometimes you use both passé composé and the imparfait in the same sentence. You can tell what was going on (imparfait) when another action happened (passé composé): Je jouais aux dames quand le téléphone a sonné. I was playing checkers when the phone rang.
