Participe and Gérondif are two important aspects of French grammar that learners need to master. The participe is a verb form used in compound tenses, such as passé composé, and can also function as an adjective. It has two forms: the past participle (participe passé) and the present participle (participe présent). Gérondif, on the other hand, is a verb form that expresses ongoing or simultaneous actions, often translated as “while” or “by” + verb-ing in English. It is formed by adding the suffix “-ant” to the stem of the present participle.
