Hey Christophe, while I'm "talking" to you, I have a French question:
I've read that in certain regions like the Midi, people (or some
people)
still use the passé défini as the usual past tense in speech
(presumably
due to Occitan influence)... it that true?

Just on the same topic, in Southern Italy, they often use the
corresponding tense in Italian (passato remoto) as the usual past
tense, that is, replacing the more common compound form passato
prossimo.

Usually the passato remoto is used when referring to long-ago events
(eg historic events) and is used in books, I believe.

Imperative
