El Pretérito y El Imperfecto Both are past tense…so what is the difference?

How do we know when to use the preterite tense and when to use the imperfect tense? Here are the reasons to use the imperfect tense: On going action (something that was happening) Yo estudiaba cuando mi hermano entró mi cuarto.

Repeated, habitual activity Esa chica siempre hacía la tarea. What one used to do Cuando yo era niño, jugaba con juguetes.

El imperfecto cont… Age El hombre tenía 37 años. Time on the clock Eran las tres de la tarde Weather Hacía frío

Thoughts and Emotions Ella estaba muy triste. Physical Descriptions El chico era esbelto y tenía pelo teñido de verde!

El Pretérito Quick Actions that occur. (Main actions or events in a story. Fui al mercado y compré comida para la cena Actions repeated a specific number of times. Te llamé por teléfono tres veces anoche.

Actions that occurred at a specific time. Estudié por cinco horas ayer.

For both the imperfect and preterite tenses, there are trigger words. Here are some common trigger words for the imperfect… El Pretérito Anoche, ayer, el otro día, anteayer, el año pasado, el mes pasado…..

and the imperfecto… El imperfecto: Siempre, a menudo, por lo general, usualmente, algunas veces, a veces, todos los días…..

In summary… Think of the pretérito to describe ACTIONS in the passed tense – BOOM!!! – you can see a beginning and end. The imperfect to make DESCRIPTIONS in the passed tense – no definitive start and end.

¡Práctica! 1.Cuando yo (era/fui) niña, saltaba la cuerda. 2.Anoche mis amigos (salían, salieron) por las calles. 3.Mi padre siempre (miraba, miró) la televisión. 4. Yo (era/ fui) a la tienda tres veces ayer.

5. La chica (tenía/ tuvo) trece años. 6. Nosotros (hacíamos/ hicimos) la tarea el otro día. 7. Mi maestro nos (gritaba/ gritó) a veces.

8. Mi familia (veía/ vio) películas todos los jueves. 9. El año pasado yo (estudiaba/ estudié) mucho. 10. Ellos (estaban/ estuvieron) enojados con los resultados.
