Preterite = happened once = completed past action Imperfect = ongoing in the past = something that was

Think of the imperfect as an ongoing wavy line in the past. Think of the preterite as one specific point in the past.

Use the following as a guide to using the imperfect.

t = telling time Us e the imperfect with any time, day or date in the past Eran las seis de la mañana. Era el primero de enero. Era lunes cuándo llegué.

Write the time, day, date on the apparatus. Eran las seis de la mañana. Era lunes cuando tomamos el examen. Había un temblor el seis de octubre lunesmartesmiércol es jueve s viernessábad o domin go

M = mental verbs Use the imperfect if you cannot see the action happening, or for verbs that express feeling. Me preocupaba de la película. El pensaba que la profesora era buena.

draw circle around the MENTAL verbs pensar saber creer querer bailar comer beber sentir

D = description Use the imperfect as a description of how something was. Cuándo era niña, yo era tímida. El lago era bonito.

Circle the description word in the following sentences and underline the imperfect verb. El examen era díficil. Paco era un hombre cómico. La clase era interesante.

R=repeated Use the imperfect to tell about things that happened repeatedly or were habitual. key words siempre, a veces, muchas veces, a menudo, de vez en cuando, frecuentemente, con frecuencia Cuándo era niño, siempre jugaba con mi muñeco de peluche. Me gustaba jugar con mis amigos con frecuencia.

Underline the adverb of frequency in each, circle the imperfect verb. Los chicos escuchaban a la radio mucho. Mi hermana siempre sacaba buenas notas. Los estudiantes hablablan en clase a veces. La profesora enseñaba en español muchas veces.

P = progressive action What was happening when something came along to interrupt it? imperfect = what was happening preterit = what interrupted it Los estudiantes estaban estudiando cuando Señor Capos llegó. The arrival of Señor (preterit) has interrupted the student's studying (imperfect).

Write an I next to the imperfect verb. Write a P next to the preterit verb. Emilia hablaba cuando el coche llegó. Mamá leía cuando los niños le interrumpieron. Yo comía cuando el temblor ocurrió.

BE CAREFUL Cuidado Sometimes two actions can be ongoing at the same time without interrupting each other (use imperfect for both) La profesora hablaba y los estudiantes escuchaban.

Is there an interruption? Sí o No Mamá leía mientras papá miraba la tele. Nosotros estudiabamos cuando Paco llegó. Ellos escuchaban y la profesora explicaba. Yo estaba durmiendo cuándo oí un grito. Los chicos cantaban mientras ella golpeaba la piñata.

1.Yo (fui, iba) al parque anoche. 2.Nosotros (éramos, fuimos) buenos amigos cuando (éramos, fuimos) niños. 3.(Fueron, iban) a las montanas. Las montanas (fueron, eran) bonitas. 4.Yo (escuchaba, escuché) la radio cuando (llegó, llegaba) tu novio. Circle the correct verb.

5.Mientras la profesora (hablaba, habló) los estudiantes (miraban, miraron) la pizarra. 6.Yo (dormía, dormí) cuando el temblor (ocurría, ocurrió). 7.Paco (pensaba, pensó) que el video (era, fue) estúpido. 8.Los niños (jugaron, jugaban) súper Mario ayer. 9.Yo (fui, iba) al supermercado todos los días. 10.Yo (fui, iba) al supermercado anoche.

Eran las once cuando la estudiante llegó. 2. Nosotros estaamos tristes. 3. La profesora estaba alegre. 4. Ellos siempre escuchaban al profesor. 5.
