étudiaisétudiait

étudiaisétudiait is a French verb conjugation of the verb étudier, meaning "to study." Specifically, étudiais is the first-person singular imperfect indicative form, used when the subject is "I." It translates to "I was studying" or "I used to study." For example, "J'étudiais le français" means "I was studying French" or "I used to study French."

étudiait is the third-person singular imperfect indicative form. This form can be used with the subject pronouns "il" (he), "elle" (she), or "on" (one/we). It translates to "he was studying," "she was studying," or "one/we were studying." For instance, "Il étudiait pour son examen" means "He was studying for his exam."

The imperfect tense in French is used to describe ongoing actions, habitual actions, or states of being in the past. It is often contrasted with the passé composé, which describes completed actions in the past. Therefore, the distinction between étudiais and étudiait lies solely in the subject performing the action of studying. Both forms convey a sense of past continuity or habit rather than a single, completed event.
