Passé composé vs imparfait: when to use which? [duplicate]

Question

I am currently learning the imparfait tense, and I am confused about how it is different from the passé composé?

In which cases would I use the imparfait instead of passé composé, and vice versa?

Answer 1

The passé composé is used to narrate individual events in the past. Whereas the imparfait is used to

• describe the past
• express habitual, repetitive action
• describe past events that were repeated.

These are just some of the differences.
