French writing workshop: Which verb tense should you use?

"Passé composé" or "imparfait"? What is the "passé antérieur"??? Should I use the "futur antérieur" here? 

Are you writing papers in French but getting lost in a maze of verbs? This workshop clarifies the notions of verb moods and verb tenses, then focuses on the tenses of the indicative in French. It will aim to help you navigate tenses in your writing, taking both grammatical rules and meaning into account. It is not about learning how to conjugate verbs: the internet is full of resources to find the proper form of a verb at a particular tense. It is about deciding which tense to use in the first place!

Si le temps des verbes est votre cauchemar, cet atelier est fait pour vous: nous allons clarifier les notions de temps et de modes, puis nous pencher sur les temps de l'indicatif. Le but n'est pas d'apprendre à conjuguer les verbes, mais de vous aider à choisir le temps adéquat.
