Depends on your purpose in learning French. So many teachers say this about the passe simple, but as soon as you pick up a book or even magazine it is everywhere.

I agree. Learning passé simple has been vital for me in reading French literature!

You should be able to recognize it when reading, but we were taught that it's not used in spoken French. Both in the United States and in France, BTW.

This was interesting. ALL of my high school, college, and adult French classes in the USA taught passé composé and l’Imparfait. Even my Duolingo lessons are in passé composé and l’imparfait. I have yet to encounter Passé Simple.

Me too. Thank his I didn’t have to memorize passé simple too!😂

Yes! Maybe this is a smart move on the part of French instruction in the US. I've never been taught passe simple.

You encounter it when you read novels and such. I read the first Harry Potter book in french and it was used a lot in it. There are more recent books that don't use it but any books I've read used the passé simple. I've seen mangea many times reading.

Your videos are so incredibly helpful, and this one in particular is fantastic! Merci!

Wonderful! I briefly studied le passé simple but never saw it directly compared to le passé composé. Just hearing the former pronounced was a learning experience. Merci!

Vous avez tout à fait raison. Je suis québécois et je n'ai jamais entendu "je fus" chez personne. Je l'ai appris à l'école et je m'en sers parfois à l'écrit, (Ce fut un plaisir....) mais jamais à l'oral. Les Français que je connais font la même chose.

I learned a little about le passé simple in high school but I remember learning it was a literary tense, not one that is spoken.

Encore une leçon très utile, merci beaucoup. Pouvez-vous demander à vos informaticiens si vous pouvez mettre en place des micro-paiements sur votre site Web afin que je puisse vous offrir un café

If you were reading a passage aloud in front of an audience or reading to. A child, won’t you speak the passé simple aloud or would you transform the phrase into the passé composé? Why does this tense exist? What sense or feeling does it convey instead passé composé?
