El Imperfecto The other past tense

“used to” = IMPERFECT Conjugate any action in the imperfect to mean that someone used to do something on a regular basis. You will often precede this use of the imperfect with an expression like de pequeño or de niño.

Cuando era niño Cuando era niña, jugaba con muñecas. Cuando era niña leía mucho libros. Cuando era niña tenía un gatito. Cuando era niña vivía en Iowa. Cuando era niña hablaba mucho. Cuando era niña era muy traviesa.

“was/were –ing” = IMPERFECT You will usually use this meaning when you want to set up a scene and when some other action is going to interrupt the “-ing” action. For example: I was reading peacefully when an anvil fell on my head.

time and weather = IMP No debates here: if you’re talking about what time it was (a specific time, late, morning, early, evening, whatever!) it will automatically be the imperfect. Anything weather related – unless you give a specific time period – is the imperfect. example  Son las diez y veinte. / Eran las diez y veinte. example  Nieva. (now) / Nevaba (past).

physical, mental, emotional = IMPERFECT PHYSICAL  talking about how someone was feeling – estar (sick, well, tired, etc.) MENTAL  wanting something, knowing something, thinking something EMOTIONAL  being sad, happy, confused, scared
