Passé simple:Yes I agree that it does avoid the passé composé rules but....if it is only used as a written tool, why are there so any questions using it? While there may be a lot of the 77,000+ people using this site to learn French, I would bet a lot of money that most of us are learning to be able to speak it properly. Just my frustration. I would prefer more attention be given to idioms such as the ones in the weekend challenge.

Hi, In the examples above, 'j'aime Paris' means 'I lové Paris'. If 'j'aime beaucoup Paris' means 'I like Paris a lot', them how do you say plain old 'I like Paris'?
