There will be a test on the preterit vs. imperfect. You will need to know how to conjugate in both tenses (endings), and the irregulars as well. You will specially need to know when to use each tense (since they are both past). Please refer to the frog handout.

Spanish II:
On a piece of construction paper glue a picture of yourself when you were little and write 10 sentences about when you were little. You must use 5 different verbs, and you must use 5 verbs in the preterit, and 5 in the imperfect.
For example:
I used to go to my grandma's house on Sundays (used to go is imperfect)
I went to the zoo when I was 3 (went is preterit)

The imperfect is a form of the past tense. We use it when:
- We talk about things that happened an indefinite amount of times (if I know the number of times it's preterit and not imperfect) (When I was (era) little...)
-We talk about things that were happening at the same time (I was talking (hablaba) on the phone when he came in)
-Any time I use "ing" in the past (I was walking (caminaba) to your house when...)
-Any time I want to say "used to" (I used to go (iba) to summer camp every summer)
-Any time we talk about a habit (I washed (lavaba) my car every Sunday)
-Any mental and emotional actions such as wanted, loved, needed, felt, etc.
-For weather, time, date, and age (When I was 9/cuando tenía 9 años. Or It was January 15/Era el 15 de Enero)

Formation:
Endings for Ar: aba, abas, aba, ábamos, abais, aban
Endings for Er/ir: ía, ías, ía, íamos, íais, ían

Hablar: hablaba, hablabas, hablaba, hablábamos, hablabais, hablaban
Comer: comía, comías, comía, comíamos, comíais, comían
