    Excellent!! The best explanation ever, especially with showing it on the time-line board. Genuis. I have always struggled with this, and now your awesome video explained it all. Un monde de remerciment!
  • @meera3322
    french learners relax, i am a native french myself and i have to watch this for a basic french test at school lol
  • I went to 10 years of french school, and no one... NO ONE has ever explained it this well to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
  • This timeline is incredibly useful. As I study French, I refer back to this timeline. As a visual learner, it helps tremendously to be able to SEE the relationship between the different tenses. Thank you for putting this together.
  • Merci. J’ai commencé mes études de français il y a 40 ans et j’ai développé un amour pour la langue.
  • @lindab5789
    I had 4 years of French and never properly understood some of the tenses. This explanation using the timeline is so helpful! Thank you!
  • @lilly-ws6cz
    THANK U SO MUCH! I have been struggling so much in French. After I graduated I am homeschooling for 1 year with your teaching. It has been the best year!! tu es la meilleur professeur du monde!! Mon prof de français, son enseignement est comme de la merde
  • @bpmmcg3668
    This is by far the best French lesson I've ever had... thank you so much for your hard work this was such an ingenious way of showing how tenses change.
  • I am learning French at school and find this video incredibly helpful. It's so much easier to see the tenses all compared this way rather than separate! Thank you very much.
  • @onyeenoma
    You explained something my teachers could not explain for years within a few minutes. Thank you
  • @leeannsolice7473
    LOVE your use of timeline and colors to represent the different tenses! Excellent visualization of this complex concept. My only tiny tip is to explain that the term "perfect/parfait" doesn't have its usual meaning of "without flaws" but in the context of verb conjugation it means "complete." Explaining this to my own language learners helped them to embed an understanding that tenses like "past perfect" were actions completed in the past, or "Future perfect" was action that will have been completed in the future. Thank you so much for such a clear, beautiful and precise video!
  • @haleyzerr6245
    I learned more about English grammar during my high school French classes than I ever did from my English teachers. 🤷‍♀️
  • @recalled4525
    I am a french native speaker from Canada and i have to say that i'vr never had a teacher explain tenses that well to me, good job Alexa!!
  • @KimberlyGreen
    I would pay money for a nice quality poster of this timeline! It's fantastic and so clearly explains the time relationships and verb tenses. 💡🙏🏻👍🏻
  • @Zach-rk7rw
    Didnt even understand these tenses in english which made it harder at school. Thanks for clarifying!
  • @jovibaby
    verb tenses are the biggest things holding me back from leaving my French A2 plateau and entering the B level. i always get them mixed up or just forget them. having the visual along with the thoughtful explanations helped so much! this video was SO helpful, i paused and took notes as i watched and had so many "aha!" moments! merci beaucoup!!!
  • This helps a lot. All I need to do now is actively use all tenses to have burned into my brain!
  • I left the video to do my law assignment, but my cat stayed and she now knows the French verbs and tenses, so thank you very much!
  • Seeing the timeline mapped out makes this so much clearer - SO helpful! Merci beaucoup :)
