The imparfait and the passé composé are sometimes used in the same sentence where the former is used to say what was going on when something else happened. To say what happened that interrupted the ongoing activity, use the passé composé. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc. 4

A cause and effect relationship is sometimes expressed by using the passé composé and the imparfait in the same sentence. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc. 5

Remember that the verb avoir has a different meaning when used in the imparfait versus the passé composé. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc. 6

Certain expressions like soudain, tout à coup, autrefois, une fois, d’habitude, souvent, toujours, etc serve as clues to signal a particular past tense. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc. 7
