Why passé composé Why not imparfait
This question relates to:French writing exercise "A romantic trip to Paris"
Asked 5 years ago
Difficult to explain. Something that often helps is to formulate the sentence using continuous form in English. If it works, this is an indication that imperfect might be indicated.
So, ask yourself, would you say, in English:" it was being nice all week" or "it was nice all week".
