Answer:

answer :^

Step-by-step explanation:

The "passé composé" should be used to indicate a completed action, usually brief. It can, however, be used infrequently to indicate a future or a repeated action. It is also a form of politeness.

The "imparfait" is mainly used to express a past action that may last, be habitual or repeated. It can relate to the course of an action and can also be used to report descriptions.
