French text (with blanks): "mon parcours professionnel" (passé composé et imparfait)

You will find below a text to be filled in with verbs conjugated in the past tense (passé composé) or the “imperfect” (imparfait) past tense. You will have to choose the appropriate tense in each case.

This text describes the (fictitious) career path of a man who studied economics and who, after various professional experiences, finally became a teacher.

This exercise is appropriate for French levels A2-B1; choosing between passé composé and imparfait is sometimes difficult for those learning French, so the teacher should explain the uses of these two tenses. Beyond conjugation, this activity will also help your learners to enrich their vocabulary with words and expressions from everyday language.

You will find a page with the text with empty spaces, and a second page with the corrected text.
