3 Actions that occurred at or during a specific time. Jugué al tenis a las tres y media. Yo vi el ladrón y llamé la policía. Progressive actions that were ongoing for an indefinite period of time. Leía mi libro cuando mi mamá me llamó. Mientras íbamos al parque me caí.

4 Main actions and events. Hacía mucho viento cuando me caí. Veía la tele cuando el despertador sonó. The background and circumstances of a main action. Time and weather Age Outward or physical appearance Feelings, beliefs, emotional states Eran las dos de la tarde y hacía calor. Tenía dolor de cabeza y estaba cansado. La visibilidad era mala. El hombre era alto.
