Let's play with verbs [Indicative Mood - Imperfect Tense]
Grammar game: Indicative Mood - Imperfect Tense
Notes - The (Spanish) imperfect tense is used to:
- Refer to actions in the past that occurred repeatedly.
- Refer to actions in the past that occurred over an extended period of time.
- "Set the stage" for an event that occurred in the past.
- Actions which are not physical, that is feelings and mental actions, usually use the imperfect tense.
These are the rules:
**Write in Spanish and English, the conjugation of a different verb each time (included in a sentence). People must use the imperfect tense of indicative mood beginning with the letter A for each pronoun (I, you, he/she/it, we, you, they) then with B, etc. until you get to Z.
Examples:
Yo abría la puerta cuando empezó a llover.- I opened the door when it started raining.... (1st person)
Tú alimentabas a los animales cuando trabajabas en la granja. - You fed the animals when you worked on the farm.... (2nd person)
etc.
