What is the translation of "there was" in French?
Can you give me examples of when to use "il y avait" and "il y a"?
Sure. "Il y avait" can be used for events that have already happened, such as "there was a party last night" which in French would be "il y avait une fête hier soir." "Il y a" is used for current events, like "there is a meeting today" which in French would be "il y a une réunion aujourd'hui."
