Form the French passé simple, and know when to use it.
A small paid app for English-speaking intermediate learners (about B1–B2) who meet this tense in novels and history texts and want concentrated work on two problems: how to form it, and when French uses it instead of the passé composé.
This is not a beginner French course, not a DELF programme, and not a general past-tenses app.
LEARN Short lessons on formation — regular -er, -ir and -re endings, être and avoir, and the usual irregulars (faire, venir, voir, prendre, pouvoir, vouloir, savoir) — and on usage: literary and historical narrative versus spoken passé composé, and why the imparfait still does the background work.
PRACTISE Recognition: is this the passé simple? Production: type the form. Ten questions per set. Missed items come back more often. Everyday, Intermediate, and Stretch.
STATS Time practised, accuracy, and your current and best run. Totals stay on this device.
No account. Teaching and exercises work offline. The app may send anonymous usage events when a network is available (not the text you type). Details are in Privacy, in the app.
One-time purchase. No subscription. No in-app purchases.
