The Preterite or the Imperfect????

Choosing between the preterite and the imperfect can sometimes be a little confusing for a non-native speaker. Sometimes, either choice could make perfect sense-it just depends what you want to emphasize.

Let’s review the key concepts of these past tenses: Preterite: Imperfect: Single, complete event Incomplete, ongoing event The beginning or ending point Description of an action Telling time in the past When you tell how long an Habitual actions action lasted

Examples: Luis Miguel sólo cantó por media hora. (cantó-preterite-specified amount of time) Luis Miguel only sang for half an hour. Yo leía mi libro mientras mi novio veía la televisión. (leía/veía-imperfect-two ongoing actions) I was reading my book while my boyfriend was watching tv.
