Résumé anglais The title in the form of a pun intends both to refer to the ressources of a strictly speaking inexhaustible book and to single out the chapter on verbal forms, which is probably one of the most powerful theoretical constructions in French grammar since Nicolas Beauzee (1767). Marc Wilmet points out what to him is its main quality — the opposition between the nunc 'now' and the tune 'then' — and its main defect — the unacknowledgment of aspect, which was by contrast discovered by Gustave Guillaume (1929) at the same time. By way of conclusion, he proposes a reexamination of the uses of the "imparfait" based on a simultaneous account of the two parameters.
