Give a few examples of when you would use the imperfect tense?
In Spanish the imperfect tense is used for:
- describing how things/people were in the past:
e.g hacía calor =it was hot
era cansada = I was tired
- To describe a regular action that used to happen in the past
e.g. cuando era más joven, jugaba al tenís cada semana = when I was younger, I used to play tennis every week
- To decribe actions that were in progress in the past
e.g. Me caí cuando cruzaba la carretera = I fell over whilst I was crossing the road
