Language evolution poses challenges for learners, particularly with the clash between proper French and modern casual French. While traditional teaching emphasizes 'je suis allé' as the correct way to say 'I went', some speakers now use 'j'ai été' instead. This trend is accepted by some language authorities, despite the Académie Française maintaining strict rules. Such changes illustrate the dynamic nature of language, reflecting cultural shifts and linguistic adaptation, which can confuse students educated in more formal linguistic structures.
When proper French clashes with casual French, language learners may be confused by phrases like 'je suis chaud' or 'j'ai été' instead of 'je suis allé'.
Recent colloquial usage permits 'j'ai été' to mean 'I went', despite traditional rules dictating the use of 'je suis allé'.
