Here is a garden for discussing the story The Forest of the Unicorns in English.

The idea is that the story is written in French in the past historic tense.

Yet first, some of us will need to learn or relearn the past historic tense.

Perhaps some others who know will remind us please.

I haven’t heard zut alors for years. Mostly I find I hear merde!

I often hear something that sounds like the Russian president?

I have learned a few good words, watching gritty French police dramas. Far more expressive than merdre! 😉

The Italian ones are also a great source of new vocabulary. 😁

Oops! 😚

Did I say that I also have difficulties of a dyslexic nature. (That's what the educational psychologist used to say!)
MEDRE!

My grandchildren have a pile of story books and lots of them are in the passé historique so learning it isn't a useless exercise.

They will presumably absorb it naturally by reading them, same as young children absorb language generally.

I seem to recall having to learn the past historic for A level French so could probably recognise and understand it, but wouldn’t be able to produce it on demand.
