Lesson 26.08A2
Narrating Past Experiences
बीते अनुभवों की कहानी
This lesson is about putting the passé composé and imparfait to work telling a simple personal story — sequencing words matter as much as the tenses themselves, and Hindi's own equivalents (पहले, फिर, आख़िरकार) slot into a Hindi story exactly the same way. The deeper theory of when to choose which tense comes later at B1.
