1. in english compare and contrast these two tenses to the past tense in english. (imparfait et passé compose) 2. how are the past tenses in each language alike? how are they different?

Here is a short story in French: Quand j'étais jeune, le samedi ma famille et moi allions au ciné. Une fois, on a vu "Les Misérables" avec Gérard Depardieu. This story has three different verbs in it, two in the imparfait and one in the passé composé. The translation reads as follows: When I was young, on Saturdays my family and I used to go to the movies. One time, we saw "Les Misérables" with Gérard Depardieu.

answer:

bonjour, j'ai essayée de te traduire cela au mieux:

this commercial passage is a real success. all the shops are great! there is a small biocoop to out with quality organic produce, a well-known pastry chef, a wine seller, an italian brasserie offering midday meals on a superb terrace where the dishes are plentiful, the food is quality, the ice creams are made by the owner early in the morning and a very pretty bookshop located in a pleasant and timeless setting. the highlights are relevant and well presented, we feel a real expertise on the part of the booksellers and not just a desire the shelves are filled with beautiful things for young and old.at the top and very lively.you wouldn't think you were in strasbourg.

an ideal place to spend delicious moments around a good coffee, a typical italian dish, a trendy pastry while reading a good book bought in the bookstore.

au revoir.
