How do you say 'I was bored' in french?

Answer 1

Favourite answer

If there's a specific time frame

"I was bored last tuesday"

you would use passe compose, je me suis ennuyeE

I think the person ahead of me is a female, so you would need another e after (it implies a feminine speaker when using passe compose with etre)

However if you are just making a general statement, or are STILL bored, I would use the imparfait:

je m'ennuyais

Answer 2

I'd have to agree that "je m'ennuyais" is the best way to say that at some un-named date in the past you were bored.
