passe compose, present, futur proche, futur simple, imperatif, conditionnel, and imparfait...
dear god! (mon dieu!) i am completely over my head in this french business! i can handle the written grammar, even the irregular verbs (in present and passe compose) and endless conjugation...but my mind just cannot get around the tense switches in conversation...i was, i am, i was doing, i did do, i am going to do soon, i am going to do a long time from now, i was doing while i was also doing, i had while i was, i will have when i do, and on and on!
and it is different for every single verb! and for each subject! and it never ends! and i've only touched on HALF the tenses! (there are 14 in total)
