Are you telling me that "quand il eut terminé ses devoirs, il alla jouer." is more fitting than "quand il a terminé ses devoirs, il est allé jouer"?

It's too out of context to ever have guessed that. Would a French person normally have put that there?

lili · 28-12-2002 3:27pm

of course dun, my daughter answered to this question:)

if you want use the passé composé, this sentence should be changed by :
il est allé jouer après avoir terminé ses devoirs.

What I mean is, when would you say that in the Passé Historique? I can't say I've ever consciously heard a French person make use of the Passé Historique.

yes, you're right dun, the academic french is nomore often used except by political people or people literal culture.
i gave you the proust version of this sentence, sure thing, in a conversation, people will use the passé composé who is less narrative:)

Here's a nice comprehensive site for French (and other langs) verbs:

the verb "to give" is an er regular verb, so it's actually donner and not donnez which you said as the infinitive

As was already posted above, have a look at

this site.

[Edit: just after noticing it seems to have exceeded it's bandwidth or something]

What verbs do you want? I mean I can conjugate traire or éventrer or boucler, but generally it would be more useful if they're something you actually want

raphaelS · 12-12-2003 10:50am

And all these years wasted in school as a kid learning all these...
I should have say to my teacher "I'll get that off the Internet in 20 years...!"

Thanks for the links.
