Talking About The Past
Past 2: j'ai fait
The Secret Sauce: irregular verbs
While irregular verbs might seem a bit different, they are actually some of the most used words in French.
These are the high-frequency words you will need every day to describe what you did, what you saw, or what you said. Learning these specific forms is the best way to feel more natural and express yourself clearly in any daily situation.
The great thing is that these forms remain exactly the same for every person (I, you, we, etc.). Unlike the “engine” verb, the action word never changes its spelling.L
Remember
One Tense, Two Meanings
The best news about the Passé Composé is that it is a “Two-in-One” tense.
In English, you have to choose between two different ways to talk about the past: I ate a croissant. / I have eaten a croissant.
In French, we don’t make that distinction. Whether you did it five minutes ago or five years ago, you use the passé composé:
J’ai fait une tarte I have done/did
Tu as fait une tarte You have done/did
Il / elle a fait une tarte He / she has done/did
On a fait / nous avons fait une tarte We have done/did
Vous avez fait une tarte You have done/did
Ils / elles ont fait une tarte They have done/did
