Maybe it's too "English-y" but it made sense for me to have both be in plus que parfait. The essential thing about the PQP is that it describes actions/states that are further back in the past than the "main" action in a past tense.įor example, in sentences 2-3 of your passage, " était partie plus tôt de son travail" is something that occurred further back in the past relative to the time when " elle venait de rentrer chez elle". Does anyone have any insight? I hope I'm making sense. My boyfriend, a French native speaker to make things more confusing, thought the first one sounded good in imparfait and the second one in plus que parfait. But I realize imparfait gives background context too, so it's really hard for me to distinguish their different functions in this kind of situation. She hadn't taken a vacation in over a year." It's like giving background context to the story. "Elle avait attendu" and "elle n'avait pas pris." At least when I would tell this story in English, I would say "She had been waiting for this trip for months. So to me, maybe it's too "English-y" but it made sense for me to have both be in plus que parfait. Elle avait besoin de repos, de se ressourcer loin de tout, elle qui _ (NE PAS PRENDRE) de vacances depuis plus d'un an. Elle _ (ATTENDRE) ce voyage depuis des mois. Elle a dû se rendre à l'evidence: ses billets d'avion étaient introuvables. Sophie, qui venait de rentrer chez elle, était partie plus tôt de son travail qu'a l'accoutumée. I know imparfait adds background context when telling a narration, but am I correct in understanding that plus que parfait in a narration is like an extra "layer" of background context to the context? I think it'll make more sense if I show the sentences. There's loads of information online about the difference between passé composé and imparfait, but I couldn't find anything on this topic, to my surprise.
