Yo solia no saber preterito y imperfecto, pero entonces yo tomo una flecha en la rodilla.

Thank you soo much! Another way my spanish teacher taught us the difference is to use the acronym A PAW TALE. Its stands for:

Age

Physical condition

Apperance

Weather

Time

Attitude/desires

Location

Emotion

¿en tus videos cuando vas a dar un ejemplo pones eg de egemplo? ¡porque se escribe ejemplo! porque supongo que no es de example...

[tontitofrito]

@juancgura932

Sip. Ya lo he estado cambiando en los videos nuevos... lo use originalmente por lo de que 'eg' era algo del latin. Sin embargo, en espanol no se usa. Sino que se usa 'ej' y en ingles usamos 'ex'

[zondrah89]

Also, can you change an imperfect tense to a preterite by rewording it? Ex. "The pizza was hot as he was eating it" could be made preterite by saying "he ate a hot pizza," right?

[tontitofrito]

@zondrah89 Sure... 'comió pizza caliente'

[zondrah89]

I don't understand why "When Paco was 7 he went to Seaworld" is imperfect. He went once, when he was seven, and then it was over, right? So isn't that preterite? I'm very confused! :(

[tontitofrito]

@zondrah89

When he was 7 (imperfect because he was 7 for longer than just eating the pizza... he ate pizza at one time during the time in which he was 7) He went to Seaword. (preterite because he went once... it could be imperfect if 'he used to go to Seaworld all the time (habit))

[soccerforwrd4]

you help SOOO much! i didn't get preterite and imperfect at all before this video

[tontitofrito]

@soccerforwrd4

[JBloverforlife995]

I have learned more from you in ten minutes than in 9 weeks with my spanish teacher..

[1806chemi]

[kakosuranosx]

Hi there!

Don't care about mistakes. I speak a foreigner language and I know what it feels like for you. So I just wanna say I'm learning lots of Spanish with you and I think you are doing a great job here on Youtube. Your videos are just amazing. Hope to see more video pretty soon. Keep up the great work. :)

Kosta.

[Pfsif]

Nice explanation! Very clear.

[NoticeOfDefault]

wait none of the countries in the America's are native spanish speakers 00:05 ... this language was introduced to the natives in the Americas by colonizers ... in other words don't worry yourself about the hagglers ... Thank you for your dedication
