      1 The French gerund is usable only with the preposition en.
      2 In less formal writing or speech, these tenses may be found to have been replaced in the following way:
      past historic → present perfect
      past anterior → pluperfect
      imperfect subjunctive → present subjunctive
      pluperfect subjunctive → past subjunctive
