In today's lesson, we will learn about the imperfect tense to refer to activities that you used to do.
To talk about activities that happened in the past, in Spanish we use el pretérito or/and el imperfecto. You have already studied the preterite tense to refer to activities that you did or events that happened in the past (presenting those events as completed, done, finished).
