Why is faire used here instead of fais?
Hi all,
In the sentence below, I used l'imparfait of pouvoir (pouvait) rather than the passé composé. I would have thought l'imparfait was appropriate as it describes actions that were repeated in the past i.e. they organised meetings that were repeated over a period of time.

How do I know when to use ne...pas, ne...jamais or ne...plus in the negative form based on the affirmative sentence?
