Watch the video lesson

In this video we analyze when it is necessary when talking about past in Spanish , to use the Preterite (Pretérito indefinido) and when to use the imperfecto , as well as the differences between both. These are usually very difficult for students to understand because in many languages all these uses correspond to a single verb tense. We hope you find this video and the test below useful to learn when using Pretérito indefinido and Imperfecto in past tense.
