The Preterite and Imperfect

You can use the preterite tense to show that an event/situation had a beginning and/or and end. You use it to say:
-that something happened on a specific occasion or a specific number of times.
Ayer, fui al colegio-Yesterday, I went to (high) school.
Visité el Mundo de Disney dos veces-I visited Disney World two times.
Fuimos al cine la semana pasado-We went to the movies last week.

-that something happened for a specific period of time.

-that something happened as a reaction to something.

Cuando vimos las playas bonitas nos pusimos contentos-When we saw the beautiful beaches, we were happy/content.

Use the imperfect tense to emphasize the ongoing act of a past event/situation (instead of its beginning/end). Use it:
-to say what people, places, or things were generally like.
De niña, era muy curiosa-When I was a little girl, I was very curious.

Gramatica 2

Repaso- Preterite and imperfect

The preterite is used to talk about the past; about an event that had a set beginning and end. Some ways that the preterite can be used:
• That happened on a specific occasion or a specific number of times.
• That happened for a certain period of time
• That happened in a sequence of events
• That happened as a reaction to something

The imperfect is also used to talk about the past but not with a set beginning or ending. Different ways that the imperfect can be is used are:
• To say what people, places, or things were like
• To say what used to happen for an uncertain amount of time
• To set a scene
• To give background info

When used after the preterite of decir, oír, or leer with que, the imperfect is used to say what was said, heard, or read.

Examples:
Mis amigos y yo fuimos a la escuela toda la semana.
Hacia mucho frió en el centro y había mucha gente allí.
El dijo que no había nada de tarea hoy en la clase de Español.


Repaso- The present progressive and the future

To form the present progressive the present tense of either estar or anadar is followed by the present participle. The present progressive is used to talk about what is happening right now.

The future is used to talk about future vacation plans and about something that is likely to happen.

Together both the future tense and the present progressive can be used to talk about what is probably going on or what someone is probably doing.

Examples:
Mis primos andan buscando unos recuerdos en la tienda.
Yo estaré en casa este fin de semana porque tengo nada que hacer.
El profesor estará hablando con sus estudiantes depuse de la escuela.


Repaso- The subjunctive

Together with the following expressions the subjunctive can be used to give advice or an opinion, and talk about a person’s hopes or wishes.
• Querer que
• Preferir que
• Esperar que
• Ojala que
• Recomendarle que
• Aconsejarle que
• Sugerirle que
• Es importante que
• Es major que
• Es buena idea que

These same expressions can also be followed by an infinitive (when there is no que).

Examples:
El prefiere que su hermana no vaya a la fiesta.
Es importante que te lleves tu camera digital para tomar muchas fotos.
Es mejor lavar los platos después de usarlos

¡No me digas! – no way!
Cuéntame lo que pasó el día que fuiste a la catarata. – Tell me what happened the day you went to the waterfall.
We also revisited the Preterite and Imperfect tenses.
We use the preterite to say what happened at a specific occasion
To form the preterite add é, aste, ó, amos, aron to the stem for ar verbs, and for er and ir verbs add í, iste, ió, imos, or ieron.
To say what happened for a specific period of time.
What happened in a sequence of events
What happened as a reaction to something.
The imperfect is used to say what people, places, or things were generally like.
Its endings are for ar verbs, aba, abas, aba, abamos, aban, and for ir and er verbs ía, ías, ía, íamos, and ían.
To say what used to happen for an unspecified period of time.
To set the scene
To explain the background circumstances surrounding an event.
We also revisited the present progressive, it is used to say what is happening right now.
It is formed by taking the present tense of estar and following it with a present participle.
The future tense was also revisited, it is used to say what is probably true or likely to happen.
It is formed by adding é, ás, á, ámos, án to the infinitive
You can mix both the future tense and a present participle to form the future progressive to talk about what is probably going on or what someone is probably doing.
Estará leyendo su correo electrónico.
Estaré comiendo en el restuarante.
Estaramos tomando refrescos.
Lastly we revisited another old lesson with the subjunctive tense. It is used to talk about hopes or to give advice or an opinion.
It is used with phrases such as querer que, preferir que, recomendarle que, Es importante que, and es buena idea que. It is important to remember that the subject from the phrase and the Word in the subjunctive tense must be different. To form the subjunctive take the present yo form, drop the ending, and for ar verbs add e, es, e, emos, en, and for ir and er verbs add a, as, a, amos, an.
