Translating time in French

Is there any lesson dedicated here on how to distinguish between:

[période, temps, moment, époque]

They all can indicate time in English, but are translated differently in French.

On a different note, is there a way I can find all the exercises here related to a single topic (for example, relationship), covering from A1 to C1?

Thanks!

Bonjour Blaise,

There is not a lesson specifying when to use one over the other I'm afraid. It is a question of coming across these expressions when reading or writing French or listening to French. Also, dictionaries are a language learner's best friend! ;-)

To find out about exercises related to a single topic, go to the ListeningReading or Writing exercise pages. There, you will see a search box inside a light pink box where you can enter the topic you would like to work on (as well as choosing specific CEFR levels).

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
