         Passé Compose vs. Imparfait 

The most difficult part about this grammar unit is discerning whether to use the passé compose or the imparfait. Remember the three broad rules are:
                                               1. Use the imparfait to describe people, things, and situations in the past and also to talk about events that used to happen or were happening.
                                               2. Use the passé compose to talk about events that happened at a specific time in the past or during a well-defined period of time.
                                               3. When a continuous action is disrupted you use the imparfait when describing the continuous action and the passé compose to describe the interrupting event.
      
Here is a link to a site to practice choosing between imparfait and passé compose. The more you practice the better you'll do on the quiz and the test.
