ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

Passé composé or imparfait? Where does y go again? And when exactly do you need the plus-que-parfait?

This 2-hour refresher revisits the grammar system at the heart of Level 3: the past tenses and object pronouns that allow you to move from individual sentences to longer, more connected stories.

We’ll review how the different past tenses work, how to choose between them based on what you mean, and how object pronouns help you avoid repetition and keep your sentences flowing.

A useful reset if you know the material but need to reorganize it in your head before moving on.

We’ll review:

  • The passé composé
  • The imparfait
  • Passé composé vs. imparfait
  • The plus-que-parfait
  • Direct and indirect object pronouns
  • Tonic pronouns
  • Y and en
  • Object pronoun placement and order

You’ve studied French before. You know you learned this stuff, but somewhere along the way, the rules got fuzzy and you started second-guessing yourself mid-sentence. This is the time to firm it all back up.
