29 CardsLesson#1
In this deck, we'll focus on using the 'pretérito imperfecto', or imperfect tense. You already know how to form it; now we'll use it to talk about the past in a new way. It's for describing past habits, routines, and the background scene of a story, rather than single, completed actions.
Lesson#2
The most common use of the imperfect is for talking about things you 'used to do' repeatedly. It's perfect for childhood memories and past routines. For example, 'De niño, jugaba al fútbol todos los días' means 'As a child, I used to play football every day'.

Jugaba en el parque.
