An easy difference among them could be that using the Passé Composé indicates that the action lasts in the Présent, which is not the case with the Passé Simple : "Quand je suis venu à Paris…" (I'm still in Paris when I say this) // "Quand je vins à Paris…" (I'm not in Paris anymore).<br /><br />I hope this helped a little.NASTY GGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-80971594847729995482009-05-05T12:05:00.000+02:002009-05-05T12:05:00.000+02:00Mozart is the man, and knowing about this gorgeous...Mozart is <EM>the man</EM>, and knowing about this gorgeous building is yet another reason that Paris is <EM>the city</EM>.

Also, I love it when you talk history to us. ;^) I too read these plaques on the wall where ever I am. Not only in Paris, anywhere.
