What's the difference between imparfait and passe compose?
Answered by SraJMcGin
This is essentially the difference between an action, not completed as far as you know and description and an action completed.

Get a feeling for ~~~~ (l'imparfait) and //// (passé composé) The English is also different.
l'imparfait (étudiais) = I was studying, I used to study and I studied (3 meanings)
le passé composé = j'ai étudié = I did study, I have studied and I studied.

Note that the 3rd meaning in each case "crosses over" so you need to determine whether it WAS going on or DID go on.
