 Both the preterite and the imperfect are used to talk about things that happened in the past.

 The choice of whether to use the preterite or imperfect depends upon whether the speaker is describing an action completed in the past or a continuous, recurring action in the past.

 You use the preterit to express actions or events that began and ended at a specific time in the past.

 Anoche volví a casa y envié unos correos electronicos. ◦ Last night, I returned home and sent a few s.  Luego pasé un rato navegando la red. ◦ Then, I spent a short time searching the web.

 You use the imperfect to talk about a continuous, habitual or repeated action in the past. The moment when the action began or ended is unimportant.

 Cada noche volvía a casa y enviaba unos correos electrónicos. ◦ Every night, I returned home and sent a few e- mails.  Luego pasaba un rato navegando la red. ◦ Then I spent some time searching the web.

REPEATED, HABITUAL ACTION Él hablaba con sus abuelos cada semana. Ella siempre navegaba la red. Yo siempre me acostaba tarde. COMPLETED ACTION Él habló con sus abuelos la semana pasada. Ella navegó la red anoche. Pero anoche me acosté temprano.

1. ¿(Usaste, Usabas) el Internet anoche? 1. Los niños (jugaban, jugaron) los videojuegos todos los días. 2. Mi mama (compraba, compró) algo en línea ayer.

 Creer – to believe  Desear – to desire  Querer – to want  Tener ganas de – to feel like doing  Sentir – To feel

 Pensar – to think  Preferir – to prefer  Poder – to be able to  Saber – to know (info)  Gustar – to like

 Often a sentence may have two or more verbs in the past. The verbs may be in the same tense or in different tenses.

 In the sentence below, both verbs are in the preterite. Both describe simple actions that began and ended at a specific time in the past.  Laura llegó ayer y Pepe la vio. – Laura arrived yesterday, and Pepe saw her.

 In the sentence below, the two verbs are in the imperfect because they both describe habitual or continuous actions. The moment when the actions began or ended is unimportant.  Durante el invierno, Adela iba a las montañas a esquiar, pero yo trabajaba. – During the winter, Adela went to the mountains to ski, but I worked.

 In the sentence below, the verb estudiaba is in the imperfect; it describes the background—what was going on. The verb entró is in the preterit; it describes the action or event that interrupted the ongoing action.  Yo estudiaba cuando Julia entró. – I was studying when Julia entered.
