Grammaticalité au Passé Récent
There are many misunderstandings concerning the French periphrasis venir de + infinitif, mostly called passé récent. Certain aspects of its use like the combination with time adverbials hardly have been examined. The use of the periphrasis is restricted in several ways: it can't be used in the compound tenses and in the passé simple, it also doesn't take state verbs as complement and it can hardly be accompanied by a negation. Time adverbials can specify whether the event point (E), whether the reference point (R). Time adverbials specifying E have to situate E at a small distance of R. The maximal quantity of this temporal distance is imposed by pragmatic rules. So, the adverb récemment (recently) is not always "recent" enough to be used in combination with the passé récent.
