El pretérito Frequently used words: anoche ayer anteayer una vez el/la ___ pasado(a) esta mañana/tarde/noche el otro día

El imperfecto The imperfect is used for:  a continuous, habitual, or repeated action in the past--the moment when the action began or ended is unimportant.  description in the past, giving background information or setting the scene  describing weather, telling age, time, or dates in the past

Since most mental processes involve duration or continuance, verbs that deal with mental activities or conditions are most often expressed in the imperfect tense. creer = to believepensar = to think desear = to wantpreferir = to prefer querer = to wantpoder = to be able saber = to knowtener ganas de = to feel like

Por ejemplo: Él sabía lo que preferíamos. Yo tenía ganas de salir. Él creía que yo estaba enfermo.

El imperfecto -Carmen ______ al supermercado con frecuencia. (ir) -________ nublado. (estar) -Yo _______ quince años. (tener) -______ el 5 de octubre. (ser) -______ las cinco y media. (ser) -La casa ______ muy grande. (ser) iba era tenía Eran Era Estaba

Laura llegó ayer y Pepe la vio. both verbs describe simple actions that began and ended at a specific time in the past Durante los inviernos, Adela iba a las montañas a esquiar, pero yo trabajaba. both verbs describe habitual or continuous actions Yo estudiaba cuando Julia entró. ‘estudiaba’ describes the background; ‘entró’ expresses the action or event that interrupted the ongoing action

Compare *Ellos iban al cine todos los sábados. *Ellos fueron al cine el sábado pasado. *Siempre se sentaban en la primera fila. *Ayer se sentaron en la última fila. *Todas las noches se acostaban tarde. *Anoche se acostaron temprano.
