Question

Using the imparfait tense, I am trying to form "was born." Would it be "néait" (in the il/elle/on form)? It doesn't look right to me..

Answer 1

thats because you you the infinitive. ne is the past-participle.

i believe it is naiturait

Answer 2

Actually, wouldn't it be "naissait"?

Answer 3

The imperfect form of naître in this case is "naissait." Right you are, Anonymous!

Sra (aka Mme)

Answer 4

P.S. Let me add something here! Why do you want the Imperfect = was being born? Depending upon the context, or exactly what you are saying, it would most likely be the passé composé = il est né (elle est née.)

Sra (aka Mme)

Answer 5

I was told to use the imperfect.
