– Present vs. Past Tenses: To describe actions that occurred in the past, you would use the past tenses like the passé composé (compound past) or the imparfait (imperfect). The choice between these past tenses depends on the specific aspect and circumstances of the past action.

The present tense is used for actions in the present, while the conditional is used for hypothetical or future actions based on conditions.
