Orthographic Spelling Changes
These changes only occur in the the yo form : If the verb ends in… -car qué ex: sacar: yo saqué -gar gué ex: jugar: yo jugué -zar =cé ex: almorzar: yo almorcé

Now you will learn about another past tense called the imperfect.
You can use the imperfect in the following ways: to speak about background events in a story. to talk about something you used to do as a matter of habit (things you used to do) to speak about how old someone was to say what time it was

Generally speaking, the imperfect is used for actions in the past that are not seen as completed. Use of the imperfect tense implies that the past action did not have a definite beginning or a definite end. Los niños jugaban todos los días. The kids would play everyday. (no definite beginning or end)
