Your English is fine. Better than my French.
Try grabbing natbib.dvi, the documentation for natbib, and read section 4.8
"Selecting Citation Punctuation" which describes '\bibpunct'
Basically, putting something like
\bibpunct{[}{]}{,}{a}{}{;}
in your preamble will change the output of
\citep{jon90,jon91,jam92}
into [Jones et al. 1990; 1991. Ja,es et al. 1992].
