Nathalie et Pompon - monologic narration activity (French imparfait)
This sequence of activities builds towards the re-telling in own words of a story contrasting habitual and completed events in the past, and using imperfect and passé composé tenses. It assumes prior learning of the passé composé with avoir and être and its function to describe completed events in the past, and the 3rd person singular of the imperfect for describing habitual events in the past.
