One of the common mistakes made by students is the difference between the Pretérito perfecto simple (Indefinido) and the Imperfecto.
For many students it is difficult to know when to use the indefinido or the imperfecto, as they both refer to actions in the past. The following table summarizes the uses of both tenses to help you making the right choice.
Pretérito perfecto simple (Indefinido) | Imperfecto |
---|---|
For actions that took place in the past Ellos se casaron el mes pasado. (They got married last month) | For habits or repeated actions in the past. Yo veía a mis primos todas las semanas. (I used to see my cousins every week). |
For actions completed at a definite moment in the past Bailé mucho anoche (I danced a lot last night) | For specific actions or events in the past. El parque tenia 3 bancos. (The park had 3 benches) |
For series of actions or events completed in the past. Entraste, miraste a tu padre y le diste un abrazo. (You entered, looked at your father and hugged him) | To describe people or states of indefinite duration in the past with no reference to its beginning or end. Su hermano era alto. (His brother was tall). |
For actions that, because of their nature, are not usually repeated such as to get married (casarse), to turn a specific age (cumplir años),to realize something (darse cuenta de), to decide (decidir), to graduate (graduarse), to die (morir), etc. La hija de Ana nació en ese hospital (Ana’s daughter was born in that hospital). | To express age in the past Mis abuelos tenían 80 años. (My grandparents were 80) |
/ | To express time in the past Eran las 6. (It was six o’clock) |
/ | To express a mental state or a mental action. Ella pensaba en su abuela. (She was thinking about her grandma) |
The pretérito imperfecto it is used in descriptions and to say what was happening or used to happen. The beginning and ending of the actions in Imperfecto is not specified. On the other hand, the pretérito Indefinido it’s used to talk about completed actions in the past or actions completed at a definite, specific moment in the past

Imperfecto | Indefinido |
---|---|
Generalmente / normalmente (generally) | De repente (suddenly) |
Siempre / nunca (always/never) | Finalmente (finally) |
Todos los días /meses /años (every day/ month/ year) | El mes pasado (last month) |

Mientras (while) | Entonces (then) |
Cuando era joven… (When I was young) | En 2011 (in 2011…) |
The meaning of some verbs changes depending on the time in which they occur. Therefore, it is important to know what you want to express in order to choose the right tense.
Imperfecto | Indefinido |
---|---|
To know something well: Mi amiga se conoce la ciudad al dedillo. (My friend knows the city very well) | To meet for the first time: Le conocí en un centro social. (I met him in a social center) |

My name is Alberto and I am 29 years old. I speak Spanish, English, French, German and Italian. As you might have seen, one of my passions is the study of foreign languages. I love learning them, studying them, and keeping permanently in touch with them.
I have been a foreign language teacher for eight years, and I have always obtained remarkably good results. I personnally love working as a language teacher. It is another opportunity of keeping studying one specific language whereas you are helping other people to learn.
In my clases I adapt myself to the needs of my student. We practice the speaking, the writing, or any other skill the student desires. We learn also grammar and vocabulary. I like to work with spread sheets of grammar and vocabulary to consolidate the grammar basis, but I also like using other ressources, such as films, books, videos, games, songs or articles from the newspaper.
I am quite patient comprehensive and kind. All the students that came to me with problems or difficulties bearing relation to the grammar have come through them with a great success after some lessons with me.
So I look forward to welcoming you all with open arms to help you discover a new language or improve your language skills.

I am very grateful that I found Noelia as a Spanish teacher. Your lessons are very well prepared and adapted to the level of knowledge of the student. The lessons include grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, which are, however, entertaining and interesting. Noelia speaks very clearly, so that you can understand her very well even with less knowledge of Spanish. Lessons with Noelia are a lot of fun, she is very open-minded, friendly and always in a good mood.

Hello, my name is Marina. I am a native speaker of Spanish.
I am a graduate in teaching foreign language at a Pedagogical University.
I have about 15 years of experience in teaching children, youth and adults.
In the last few years I focused on teaching Spanish online.
Online teaching has allowed me to realize what are the main difficulties that foreigners have when they want to learn Spanish.
so I have combined methods, applied strategies and fun activities to facilitate the development of pronunciation, listening and writing skills of the language.
That is why I invite you to get to know this way of learning so that soon you will be conversing fluently in the second most spoken language in the world: Spanish.
