French verbs?

Question

When you translate the plu-que-perfect and imparfait verbs what are your endings?
ex: passe compose
J'ai eu - I had

i want the imparfait and passe compose endings in english.

Answer 1

Plus que parfait:

J'avais eu / I had had
tu avais eu
il avait eu
nous avions eu
vous aviez eu
ils avaient eu


Imparfait:

j'avais / I had / I used to have / I was having (it depends of the situation)
tu avais
il avait
nous avions
vous aviez
ils avaient

Answer 2

Plu-que-parfait is called pluperfect or past perfect in English

J'avais eu: I had had
J'avais écouté: I had listened.

Imparfait may be translated as simple past, past progressive (aka past continuous) or "used to", depending on the context.

J'etais: I was, I was being (unlikely, but for some other verbs it could be this one), I used to be

Je regardais: I watched (unlikely in this case), I was watching or I used to watch


I didn't give the thumbs-down, but if I had it would have been because "aller" IS one of the vandertramp verbs so it's "j'étais allé(e)" and j'avais and j'étais end with s.

Answer 3

if you're asking for the imparfait endings you have to take the nous form of the verb you are going to use. take off the ons and add this in the form u are using

je-ais
tu-ais
il/elle/on-ait
nous-ions
vous-iez
ils/elles-aient

For example: je parlais,tu parlais,il parlait,nous parlions, vous parliez, ils parlaient

Answer 4

plus que parfait is the imparfait form of etre and avoir plus the passe ending

the endings are
ais ions
ais iez
ait aient

so if you wanted to say i had gone to the movies you'd say

j'avais allee au cinema.

also you use etre for vandertramp and reflexive verbs and avoir for everything else

Answer 5

J'ai eu - I had
J'ai avait eu - I had had

J'ai ete - I have been
J'etait - I was
