Mes amis pourriez-vous m'expliquer la règle suivante de la grammaire It is written "il fut le premier et le dernier homme de sa vie". I'm interested why "il fut" and how it is formed, from which word. Thanks

The sentence means "He was the first and last man in her life". "Il fut" is the verb "être" in passé simple, this tense is used only in writing and the conjugation is: Je fus Tu fus Il fut Nous fûmes Vous fûtes Ils furent

"Il fut le premier et le dernier homme de sa vie" veut dire je pense que cet homme est parti ou est mort. (I think it means that the man has lived or died) C'est le verbe 'être' conjugué au passé simple :)

Hi, Nazim! This tense (passé simple) which is mostly used when writing, but not always, means that the action is definitely over. "Il fut président dans les années 50". " Zidane fut un excellent footballer". Carry on! Jean Paul
