Tu ________ beaucoup de cartes d’anniversaire.
Hey guys,
I know the correct answer is as eu ,but why not avais ?!
Isn't the sentence like describing something in the past as L'Imparfait?!
As eu Or Avais ?!

As eu Or Avais ?!
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate avoir (+ avoir) in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)"
Asked 4 years ago
Hi Amir,
Firstly 'to have a lot of birthday cards' is an action and not a description but when to use the Passé Composé and Imparfait is to do with context so a sentence on its own cannot justify either.
You might say for instance -
"Quand j’étais jeune je recevais beaucoup de cartes d’anniversaire mais ce ne n’est pas le cas maintenant."
Hope this helps!
