Imparfait

FAC - intro to imparfait


For use with: ongoing states of being, repeated or incomplete actions (ie. what in
English would be "was" or "was ___ing"

1. habitual actions or states of being
2. physical or emotional descriptions in the past
3. actions or states of unspecified or uncertain duration
4. background information for use in conjunction with the passé composé
5. wishes or suggestions (si nous sortions ce soir?)
6. conditions in si clauses
7. the expressions être en train de ... and venir de ... in the past

Number 6 above looks very similar to what had previously been represented as an
instance of the present tense - "si je peux, j'irais avec vous" v. "si j'avais de
l'argent, j'irais avec vous"
