  • Open the app and use the voice function.
  • Ask Chat GPT to provide English sentences to be translated into French using either imparfait or passé composé.
  • Example prompt: "Give me English sentences that I will translate into French using either imparfait or passé composé."
  • If incorrect, the app corrects you and provides the right translation.
