Imparfait
Imparfait (imperfect tense in English) is a commonly-used past tense in the French language. In contrast with Passé Composé which may express that an event occured at an unknown time in the past, Imparfait always needs a reference time (anything from an fleeting instant to a very long span), which is not always expressed in words but is known to all parties of the conversation.
