Le Passe Simple, Passe Compose and Imparfait

Question

Is there a lesson that clearly compares when to use each of these. I'm struggling to distinguish between the three and was hoping for a side by side comparison.Thanks.

Bonjour Jehan,
Here are three links on these tenses:
the-french-simple-past-le-passe-simple
the-french-simple-past-le-passe-compose
the-french-continuous-past-and-past-habit-l-imparfait
Here are more links that you might find helpful:
imparfait-usage-expressing-habits-or-repeated-actions-in-the-past-imperfect-tense
le-passe-compose-usage-on-its-own-or-with-l-imparfait
l-imparfait-usage-describing-and-expressing-opinions-in-the-past-imperfect-tense
the-passe-compose-is-mostly-used-where-in-english-we-use-the-simple-past
I hops this is useful.
Bonne journée !
